Four Waterford clubs are in Munster Final action this weekend - with one game down for decision on Saturday and three to follow on Sunday.

An enthralling two days of action begins this Saturday when 16-time Munster champions Ballymacarbry will be in uncharted territories to some extent - as they compete in the 'B' Final.

The 42-in-a-row Waterford champions were dethroned by Comeragh Rangers in October - but have since got the better of Southern Gaels of Kerry at Munster 'B' level to make it through to yet another provinicial final.

They face off against Clonakilty of Cork in Mallow this Saturday - where throw-in is at 1pm.

Sunday makes for a momentous day for Waterford sport - as both Gaultier and Comeragh Rangers take to the field in Munster senior finals.

Gaultier are in action in the Munster Senior Club Camogie Championship Final at the Fethard Centre of Excellence.

They are through to the decider having defeated tough opposition in the form of Newcastle West of Limerick by 2-16 to 0-9 last weekend - just seven days on from wrestling back the county title from arch-rivals De La Salle.

Their opponents will be Clare champions Truagh-Clonlara, who themselves have made the final courtesy of a 3-10 to 0-13 victory against Tipperary champions Clonoulty-Rossmore.

Throw-in is at 3:30pm.

Comeragh Rangers will be hoping to bring the Michael Ryan Cup back to the Deise on Sunday when they make the trip to Mallow for the Munster Senior Club Ladies' Football Championship Final.

They take on Castleisland Desmonds of Kerry as they bid to lift the Michael Ryan Cup for the very first time.

Ger Power's side came back from the dead in their semi-final win against Cork champions Aghada -1-2 from Aoibhe Shankey proving crucial as they won out 1-8 to 1-7 despite being five points down at one stage in the second half.

Throw-in in Mallow is at 3pm on Sunday.

Modeligo serve up the matinee to Gaultier's big game as they themselves are in Munster Junior Club Camogie Championship Final action.

The Deise intermediate champions come up against Croagh-Kilfinny of Limerick with throw-in at 1pm.

Modeligo will play senior camogie in Waterford next season following a county final win against Lismore - which was followed by a comprehensive Munster Junior Semi-Final win against Tulla of Clare - Modeligo winning out 4-7 to 1-9.
