Down IFC Final
Loughinisland V An Riocht

Down JFC Semi Finals
Dundrum V Glasdrumman
Teconnaught V Ardglass

Who would be favorites for this one? I had thought An Riocht were a senior club, is Marty Clarke back playing? Down champions have Derrys in the preliminary round and both our finalists would be a decent enough test I would think.

Down IFC Final
Loughinisland V An Riocht

Down JFC Semi Finals
Dundrum V Glasdrumman
Teconnaught V Ardglass

Who would be favorites for this one? I had thought An Riocht were a senior club, is Marty Clarke back playing? Down champions have Derrys in the preliminary round and both our finalists would be a decent enough test I would think.

I'd say it would be tight encounter, simply because of the occasion and they are two good teams. But at a push I would make Loughinisland slight favourites on league form and championship performance.

Marty Clarke is back playing for the club, An Riocht were victim to many of their players immigrating, which led to their slide down to intermediate grade. Marty's older brother John Clarke, who played for Down in 2010 at full forward, also transferred to St. Johns at the start of the year due to marrying a girl from that neck of the woods.

Loughinisland played in two SFC finals in 2008 and 2009 and would have a few players still playing from that time and being able to call on that experience could be a factor in getting them over the line.

Who are the Derry finalists?

Blackhills 3rd Junior final in 3 years and Rock were a surprise senior club 2 years ago but suffered badly with injuries and loss of players. Rebuilt well this year.

Both have been senior clubs in recent past and are a mix of young and old.

Loughinisland hammered a Martin Clarke led An Riocht in yesterday's Down IFC final. 12 points in it at the end.
Greenlough will be a massive test but Id guess that both are probably operating at a similar level.

Rockcorry won the Monaghan Junior FC. They'll take some stopping in ulster. They were senior two years ago and were too good to be junior. They only ended up in junior because of their paper thin squad was decimated last year.

Doohamlet won the Monaghan IFC with a storming second half display. They'll be looking to make a serious impact in Ulster. It's their 3rd IFC title in 6 years I think. Far too good for intermediate but don't have the squad depth to compete in senior.
