An intriguing AIB All-Ireland Junior Championship semi-final lies in store at Terry Coyle Park.
Cavan Gaels claimed the Ulster title with a hugely impressive 15-point victory over Monaghan’s Killeevan Sarsfields.
Whereas, Kerry’s Cromane scored a 23-point Munster final win against Waterford’s St Patrick’s.
Saturday’s All-Ireland semi-finalists are strong through the middle and with pace in abundance on the flanks.
This should make for an entertaining fixture as the teams aim for a final spot on December 14.
Na Gaeil (2013) were the last Kerry team to contest an All-Ireland Junior club final, while a Cavan Gaels victory would break new ground for the Breffni County.
Cavan Gaels: L Lynch; G Keogan, L Sheridan, L Brady; É Lawton, N Briody (c), C Doyle; E McIntyre, S Clarke; K Brady, K Leddy, L Galligan; C Farrell, K O’Meara, M McGuinness.
Cromane: E Murphy; N Burke, O Burke, S O’Donovan; S Corkery, O Dunphy, S Foley; L O’Sullivan, R Smith; M Duffy (c), M.K. Smith, E O’Sullivan; R Griffin, E Burke, S Harkin.

Cavan are also represented in the Intermediate championship semi-final, with hosts Knockbride preparing to welcome visitors Naomh Abán from Cork.
No Cavan team has ever contested an All-Ireland Intermediate club final but Knockbride have the chance to scrub that record from the history books.
Naomh Abán, meanwhile, will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of fellow Cork outfit Glanmire in 2023 by winning the title.
There’s a semi-final hurdle to vault first, with Knockbride and Naomh Abán both hoping to reach Croke Park on December 13.
Knockbride were in excellent form in their Ulster final win against Brigid O’Neills from Monaghan, with Abbi Connor sparkling in attack during a 3-13 to 1-6 win.
Naomh Abán were All-Ireland Junior club finalists in 2022 and they’re now hoping to book a place in the Intermediate showpiece.
They needed extra time in the Munster final before getting past the challenge of Kerry’s Clounmacon/Moyvane.
Knockbride: K Mulvey; G Smith, A Lynch, N Rogers; E Lynch, S O’Reilly, N Smith; T Rogers, K.M. Reilly; G McCabe, S McCabe (c), A Nulty; R Davey, K Rogers, A Connor.
