The Ulster Club Senior Football Championship final is bound for the BOX-IT Athletic Grounds on Sunday, December 8 (throw-in 3:30pm).

Kilcoo, rampant in their victory over Scotstown at the weekend, will return to the scene where they beat Derrygonnelly to claim the Seamus McFerran Cup in 2021.

Errigal Ciarán - triumphant against Clann Eireann - are pencilled in as their opponents, with Ruairí Canavan kicking 0-9 yesterday to inspire the Tyrone outfit back to the final for the first time in 22 years.

It will be the fourth consecutive year that Armagh City has hosted the province’s most prestigious club match, with Glen’s Watty Grahams claiming glory in 2022 and 2023.

The Intermediate decider is set for Saturday, December 8 in Omagh’s O’Neills’ Healy Park (throw-in 5pm).

It will see the meeting of Cavan champions Arva and Ballinderry.

The former, last year’s All-Ireland Junior champions, are no strangers to these big occasions, and a stunning late flourish saw them overturn Magheracloone to extend an unbeaten streak to 24 matches.

Ballinderry were only slightly more comfortable in overcoming Tyrone’s Derrylaughan, with Shea McCann’s third score proving the winner.
