Meanwhile, Lavey and Carrickmore will meet in the Paul McGirr Memorial Cup final at Gardrum Park, Dromore tomorrow.
It promises to be an exciting battle between two sides who have shown impressive form in reaching the last hurdle in the competition.
Lavey, managed by former Derry All-Ireland winner Seamus Downey, look to be in pole position following their narrow semi-final win over a very good Burren side. It was the Downey clan who played a leading role in taking their club into the decider with Enda (1-2) and Matthew (1-1) landing all but one of their team’s total of 2-4 to which Burren responded with 1-6.
Lavey has proved a rich reservoir of talent for the Derry county team in the past while Carrickmore have provided Tyrone with a tranche of exciting young players in recent times and both the current sides reflect this.
And while the young guns prepare to do battle, there is fresh hope the stars of the past will have a new platform on which to parade their skills. It is understood the popular Masters Football competition is to be fully revived after it faded in 2009 because of insurance reasons.
In the interim some 16 sides took part in a different competition with a strong Dublin team emerging as deserving winners this year.
