The Clifford brothers are back in club colours for Fossa, who only stepped up from junior level in 2023. A county final victory here would be a huge statement for the rising club, but An Ghaeltacht stand firmly in their way. The spotlight will be firmly on the Clifford brothers once again as they look to bring their summer brilliance in green and gold to inspire the red and black of Fossa to victory.

Last year’s county final pairing meet much earlier this time, with Dunshaughlin aiming to back up their breakthrough title win. They edged Wolfe Tones in a tense decider in 2023 to lift their first crown in two decades, while the Tones topped their group this year unbeaten. With county stars like Adam O’Neill, Mathew Costello and Ruairí Kinsella on show, this promises to be one of the weekend’s most fiercely contested games. A proper grudge match, it’s set up as the standout tie of the Meath quarter-finals.

Na Gaeil are the new force in Tralee, with Jack Barry, Stefan Okunbor and Diarmuid O’Connor driving them forward. But Dr Crokes are still the aristocrats of Kerry club football – Tony Brosnan hit eight points in the semi-final, while Gavin White and Micheál Burns bring big-game pedigree. This final pits Kerry's most decorated club against one of its fastest rising challengers.

Castlehaven sit firmly among Cork's "big three" alongside Nemo Rangers and St Finbarrs's, with their dominance broken only rarely, 2021 was the last occasion one of them failed to make it out of their group. This year, both Castlehaven and Newcestown have taken care of Mallow and Valley Rovers, meaning their Rossmore showdown will decide who tops group 1.
