CROSSMAGLEN RANGERS will take on Scotstown at Armagh’s Athletic Grounds in the AIB Ulster Senior Club Championship final, it was revealed on Wednesday night.
After getting the better of Down champions Kilcoo, 0-12 to 0-8, in Newry last Sunday, John McEntee and Oisín McConville’s side, in their first provincial final since 2012, will take on their Monaghan opponents on a ground Cross know inside out on Sunday, November 29 at 3pm.
Scotstown, who ousted Tyrone’s Trillick St McCartan’s last weekend, will be bidding for their first Ulster title since 1989. That match will be preceded by the Ulster Junior final at the same venue at 1.15pm between another Monaghan side Rockcorry and Derry champions Faughanvale.
Rockcorry were 0-11 to 0-6 conquerors of Down side Glassdrumman in Armagh, while Faughanvale secured their final berth courtesy of a 2-11 to 1-9 victory over Cavan’s Templeport St Aidan’s.
