Kilcoo vs Scotstown Set for Ulster Club Final in Armagh on Saturday

The winner advances to meet St Brigid's in the All-Ireland semi-finals in early January.

Overview

  • Throw-in is scheduled for 18:15 GMT at the Box-It Athletic Grounds with live coverage on TG4.
  • Scotstown reached the decider after a semi-final saga against Newbridge that was abandoned at half-time in Omagh before a replay in Armagh went to penalties, which Scotstown won 4-2 with Rory Beggan converting and saving and Darren Hughes landing the clincher.
  • Kilcoo, Ulster champions in 2021 and dominant in Down, advanced by defeating Loughmacrory in the quarters and hitting four goals past Erne Gaels in the semi-final.
  • Rain is forecast for Saturday, raising surface concerns in a competition that already saw one fixture abandoned due to a waterlogged pitch.
  • Scotstown chase a first provincial crown since 1989 as manager David McCague stresses a present-focused approach shaped by recent rule changes and a revamped club culture.
