Crossmaglen will effectively have home advantage for Sunday week's Ulster club SFC final against Scotstown after the tie was fixed for the Athletic Grounds last night.

Having had to travel across the county boundary to face Down champions Kilcoo in Pairc Esler last Sunday, the perennial Armagh winners will play the final - which has a 3pm throw-in - at a venue they are much more familiar with. Whereas Cross' are seeking their 11th Ulster title, Scotstown are appearing in their first provincial final since 1989.

The big game will be preceded by the Ulster club JFC final between Rockcorry (Monaghan) and Faughanvale (Derry) at 1.15pm. The Ulster club IFC decider between Loughinisland (Down) and Bundoran (Donegal) will also take place on November 29 in Owenbeg at 2.30pm.

Meanwhile, Sunday week's Leinster club SHC final between Cuala of Dublin and Wexford's Oulart-The Ballagh has been confirmed for Netwatch Cullen Park.
