Ulster SFC Preliminary Round
Kilcoo (Down) v Slaughtneil (Derry), Pairc Esler, 2.30pm
A hugely significant contest is scheduled for Newry on Sunday afternoon with holders Slaughtneil braced for a battle against Kilcoo.
Following six Down SFC titles on the spin, Kilcoo are keen to deliver in the province, especially following the 2016 final defeat to Slaughtneil.
Mickey Moran's well organised team subsequently advanced to the All Ireland on St Patrick's Day before losing to Dr Crokes. That was a severe blow, but Slaughtneil retained their Derry crown in convincing fashion.
Kilcoo's Ryan Johnston is expected to miss the game with a foot injury so they will require another solid contribution in attack from Dylan Ward, who rifled over four points against Burren.
