TG4 Ulster SFC Final 

Armagh v Donegal; St Tiernach's Park, Clones, 3.45pm  

The scene is set for what promises to be a cracking Ulster decider at St Tiernach’s Park in Clones, a game that will be live-streamed online by BBC Sport NI.  

Armagh are the holders and they were majestic against Monaghan in the semi-finals, putting 5-21 past their outclassed opponents.  

In their semi-final win over Cavan, Susanne White was a late introduction to the starting line-up and she scored 2-3 as Donegal racked up a 3-19 to 1-11 success.  

Those victories for Armagh and Donegal helped to erase some of the heartbreak of their Lidl NFL Finals losses.  

Armagh, who are aiming for a third successive Ulster crown, fell to Kerry in the Division 2 decider, as Donegal lost out to Meath in the Division 1 showpiece.  

The winners of this tie will join either Dublin or Meath in Group 2 of the TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship, which also contains Monaghan, while the provincial runners-up will go into Group D, along with Cork or Kerry, and Waterford.
