The winners will face Rangers, who beat Fermanagh last Sunday at Gaelic Park.
A tough one to predict, but if Donegal have a full strength side on display, I feel they may overcome Rockland.
Junior Hurling Final
Tipperary vs. Galway
2.30 p.m.
Senior Football Playoff
Kerry vs. Tyrone
4 p.m.
In what promises to be a hotly contested game, two sides we’ve seen many times at Gaelic Park this season, come head to head in a battle for a place in the semifinals.
It promises to be a highly entertaining game due to the fact that both sides have varying styles. Kerry have a formidable forward line, with the likes of Dave McCarthy, Bingo O’Driscoll and Darren Reddy all in top form. Tyrone, of course, have a certain Michael Slowey in their ranks. The New York All Star has been a sensation this season, amassing 35 points in games played to date.
Added to the talents of Danny Barr in midfield, and Slowey’s brother Martin in defense, and we have a potential cracker of a game in our midst.
