The Ballymacarbry ladies will look for their 38th county title in a row on Sunday when they face old enemies Comeragh Rangers at Leamybrien.

Ballymac won by 8 points to four in last year's final and Déise forward Aileen Wall says that there's a fierce rivalry between the two clubs. "We've had some extremely tough battles with Comeragh Rangers and no doubt Sunday will be the same again. They always bring it to us."

Four county finals will take place at the Kilrossanty venue from 11 o'clock and Wall hopes that it will draw a big crowd. "I think it's a great move by the county board to bring all the county finals together. When people pay in they might hang on to see the other games and it would be fantastic if they did. I don't think that club ladies football gets the support it deserves because there's cracking games going on the whole time."

Comeragh Rangers manager Joe Murray hopes that they can spring a surprise after beating Stradbally in the semi finals. "We're happy to get back to the final but we've been there in the past and haven't got over the line so this year we're looking to go one better."
