Tyrone SFC Final
Coalisland Fianna v Killyclogher, Healy Park, 3.30pm
An interesting battle is expected at Healy Park. Coalisland won the last of their nine senior titles in 2010, while Killyclogher haven't triumped since 2003.
At the Semi-Final stage Coalisland needed a replay to overcome Clonoe, but they triumphed in convincing fashion in the second fixture.
Tiernan McCann is Killyclogher's star turn, while Conall McCann and Mark Bradley are other key players. Coalisland will be looking to Padraig Hampsey and Peter Donnelly for inspiration.
Clare SFC Final
Cratloe v Kilmurry-Ibrickane, Cusack Park, 3.30pm
Cratloe, seeking a third Clare title in four years, will be completely aware of the threat Kilmurry-Ibrickane carry.
All Ireland winning hurler Conor McGrath will miss the match for Cratloe with a shoulder injury suffered in last weekend's County SHC Semi-Final loss against Clonlara.
Eleven of that team are involved with Cratloe, who are managed by Clare boss Colm Collins. Kilmurry-Ibrickane, who claimed six Clare crowns in a decade between 2002 and 2012, will be prompted by the exicting Kealan Sexton.
Wexford SFC Final
Glynn-Barntown v Gusserane, Innovate Wexford Park, 3.30pm
Two improving teams collide in Wexford with Glynn-Barntown seeking to end a 20 year search for a county title.
Gusserane earned a famous three in a row in 1945, 1946, and 1947, but they haven't triumphed since 1975.
That is why a large crowd is expected at the south east venue to see who can return to the summit of the Wexford game.
Cian Mackey will be a key figure for Castlerahan.
Cavan SFC Final
Castlerahan v Ramor United, Kingspan Breffni Park, 4pm
It has been an interesting Championship in Cavan with Castlerahan and Ramor United offering an unexpected final.
The two close rivals will be gunning for silverware at Kingspan Breffni Park.
Castlerahan will be quietly confident considering the excellence of Ronan Flanagan, Sean Brady, and Cian Mackey.
Ramor United beat Lavey in a tense Semi-Final with Jack Brady and Kevin Mulvany bagging important goals.
Leitrim SFC Final
Aughawillan v Glencar/Manorhamilton, Pairc Sean MacDiarmada, 4pm
When Leitrim were a Connacht force in the early 1990s Aughawillan were strong contributors to that drive.
Surprisingly since 1994 Aughawillan have only registered one County title, while Glencar-Manorhamilton emerged as an established force.
Glencar-Manorhamilton won four in a row between 2008 and 2011, but they haven't triumphed in the intervening years.
Wicklow SFC Final
Baltinglass v St Patrick's, Aughrim, 3.15pm
Who will succeed a talented Rathnew team as the Wicklow SFC Champions?
Baltinglass have only won one County Championship since 1994, while St Patrick's were defeated in the last two Finals.
Back in 2012 St Patrick's shaded a gripping decider against Baltinglass by 1-12 to 0-14 so this promises to be similarly hard fought.
Carlow SFC Final
Rathvilly v Palatine, Netwatch Cullen Park, 3.45pm
Holders Palatine face 2014 winners Rathvilly at Netwatch Cullen Park.
The last Final meeting between the clubs took place in 2002 when Rathvilly required a replay to defeat Palatine.
