This could make for very greasy conditions altogether.

Wow, we have torrential rain falling in Healy Park.

There is no doubt that they are two very exciting games in store and we will be back later to bring you live text commentary from both finals.

Both sides have impressed in the campaign so far and this is a tough one to call, but Scotstown resolve has been severely tested on a number of occasions and that could stand to them here.

Our other game of the day could well be very close too, as Scotstown and Gaoth Dobhair meet in Healy Park, also at 2pm.

Ballyhale should have enough to get them over the line, but expect a very close affair and don't rule out extra time here.

However, it will be interesting to see how they do when on the road as all those games mentioned were in Parnell Park.

The Kilkenny champions are slight favourites, but Ballyboden have shown great battling qualities in the campaign so far, coming through extra time in both their games and their county final needed a replay.

The Leinster club SHC final sees Ballyhale Shamrocks take on Ballyboden St Endas at Netwatch Cullen Park at 2pm.

Provincial final day

We have two outstanding fixtures on today.
