Sean MacCumhaill Park in Ballybofey will host the all-Donegal Danske Bank Markey Cup final on Tuesday.
Coláiste na Carraige will clash with Coláiste Cholmcille, Ballyshannon, in the big decider which throws in at 12noon.
Coláiste na Carraige have had a superb record of reaching Ulster finals in the last decade or so and a St Valentine’s Day win over St Patrick’s of Keady clinched the place in this year’s Markey final.
Aaron Doherty’s point in added time gave them a 1-6 to 0-8 win.
The south-west Donegal nursery had led much of the way thanks to Shane Gillespie’s goal in the first half, but St Patrick’s came roaring back in the second half.

This is new territory for Coláiste Cholmcille, though.
A few days before Coláiste na Carraige reached the final, the Ballyshannon representation booked a ticket to their first Markey decider via a 1-16 to 1-12 win over St Joseph’s from Donaghmore.
After leading 0-10 to 0-6 at half-time, Coláiste Cholmcille got a goal from Matthew McClay and they held on after Donaghmore mounted a comeback.
