Errigal Ciarán and Cuala set up an All-Ireland Club Senior Football Championship final at Croke Park next weekend after the two sides won their semi-finals.

After convincingly winning the Tyrone championship and taking the Ulster championship, Errigal Ciarán have become the first Tyrone side to make an All-Ireland final.

Dr Crokes were the opponents that stand in the way of Enda McGinley’s side as they look to repeat their 2017 feat, when they defeated Derry’s Slaughtneil by two points to claim the All-Ireland title.

This semi-final was initially meant to be played at O’Moore Park in Portlaoise but due to the recent cold snap, the venue was changed to St Conleth’s Park in Newbridge, Co Kildare.

Enda McGinley’s side will play Dublin’s Cuala, who defeated Sligo’s Coolera-Strandhill in their semi-final in Kingspan Breffini, at Croke Park for the title of All-Ireland club football champions.

Con O’Callaghan led his side with a man-of-the-match performance in Cavan.

Errigal Ciarán will be the second Ulster side to make it to an All-Ireland final after Ballinderry, who made the Intermediate club final before it was postponed due to a death in the Crossmolina community.
