Tesco All-Ireland Ladies' Senior Club Final

Donaghmoyne (Monaghan) v Donoughmore (Cork), St Rynaghs, Banagher, Sunday, 2.30pm.

Both clubs have tasted success and defeat in an All-Ireland Club final and the pedigree both can be seen by the number of inter-county players among their ranks.

Donoughmore, twice winners of this competition, ended reigning champions Carnacon's hopes of a three-in-a-row and the Cork outfit have multiple All-Ireland winners Juliet Murphy, Rena Buckley and Linda Barrett in their starting line-up.

Donaghmoyne eased past Leinster champs Timahoe to book their spot in the final. Amanda Casey, Caitriona McConnell and the Courtney sisters provide a spine of inter-county players and experience to the Farney outfit.

Donoughmore have surprised many this year but Donaghmoyne greater depth may prove too much for the Munster champions.

DONAGHMOYNE: L. Martin, J. Geoghegan, F. Courtney, N. Lynch, H. Kingham, S. Courtney, J. Courtney, A. Casey, C. Courtney, E. McElroy, M. Woods, L. Kingham, G. McGowan, C. McConnell, L. Daly.

DONOUGHMORE: C. O'Connell, E. Walsh, L. Barrett, R. O'Mahony, A. Barrett, V. Sheehan, A. O'Shea, R. Buckley, J. Murphy, O. Healy, R. Curtain, P. Kearney, Y. Twomey, L. Murphy, A. O'Connor.

Tesco All-Ireland Ladies' Junior Club Final

Clonakilty (Cork) v Drumcliffe/Rosses Point (Sligo), Dr Cullen Park, Carlow, Sunday, 2.00pm.

This is a first appearance in an All-Ireland club final for both clubs and Drumcliffe/Rosses Point could become the first club from Connacht to win the junior title.

Clonakilty powered past Corduff of Monaghan to reach the final while Drumcliff/Rosses Point eked out a one point victory over St James of Wexford to secure their spot.

Many on the Clonakilty side have already experienced All-Ireland success at school, underage and county level while this is a breakthrough year for the Sligo outfit.

Aisling McGing winners Sharon Welton and Clare O'Reilly may be the proof in the pudding for Clonakilty.
