Bank of Ireland Senior Cup | Instonians v Ballynahinch
Ballynahinch will be looking to defend their Bank of Ireland Cup title, having beaten Dungannon in last season's final. They enter this year's final after a strong performance in the group stages, topping Group A with three wins from three, having conceded an impressive mere three points across the three games against Banbridge, Queen's and Dungannon. Instonians enter this year's final strongly too, having also topped Group B, with three wins against City of Armagh, Ballymena and Clogher Valley. Instonians last lifted the Senior Cup in 2024, and so the stage is set for this to be a fierce contest. These two sides have never faced each other in a Ulster Senior Cup final, so it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
Junior Cup | Enniskillen v Ballynahinch 2XV
Enniskillen enter this season's Junior Cup final as the defending champions, having overcame Dromore in a thrilling 23-16 final last season. Enniskillen have reached the final after a dominant three-game run, keeping clean sheets against both Ballymoney and Clogher Valley 2XV, and conceding just 8 points against Omagh. They will face the second Hinch team on the day's lineup, Ballynahinch 2XV. Hinch 2XV have had an equally impressive run in this competition, having defeated Cooke, Portadown and Instonians 2XV.
Junior Shield | Ards v Randalstown
Ards enter the final having beaten last season's Junior Shield winners, Carrickfergus in the first round 16-0, and Larne and Malone 2XV in the subsequent rounds. they face Randalstown, who had strong performances against Limavady and City of Derry and Academy.
