COUNTY final season is upon us, and today sees Antrim, Down and Donegal crown their Senior Football Champions for the next year.

In the Mourne county, Kilcoo have went into cruise control as they lead 0-07 to 0-02 at half-time in Newry.

They look well on their way to clinching a sixth Down SFC title in a row.

In Antrim, reigning champions Erin’s Own, Cargin have pulled themselves back ahead at Corrigan Park in west Belfast.

Portglenone’s loss of Dermot McAleese to a black card on 26 minutes didn’t help matters but Roger Casement’s still may have a way back into this game.

Later on in Donegal, St Eunan’s look for a historic 16th title as they play Dungloe, who haven’t won the tournament since 1958.

Aside from the Ulster county finals getting started, A clash of the titans is taking place in Derry, as All-Ireland champions Glen take on Slaughtneil in a showdown of a semi-final at 4pm to decide who will take one step closer to the Oak Leaf county title.
