Four Masters minors pictured before their impressive semi-final win over Castleblayney
Donegal minor champions Four Masters will meet Cavan Gaels in the final of the St Paul's Minor Tournament.
The game will have it's traditional final day, New Year's Day, at the St Paul's ground, Shaws Road, Belfast with a 1 p.m. throw-in.
Cavan Gaels qualified for the final today with an extra-time win over Mayobridge from Co Down. They had two points to spare at the finish, 1-7 to 1-5, after the sides finished all square at 1-5 each in normal time.
The win sets up a first ever final between teams from outside the Six Counties.
Cavan Gaels have made the final on four previous occasions and were winners in 1999. They also reached the final the following year, losing in 2000.
Four Masters have overcome Magherafelt in the quarter-final and Castleblayney in the semi-final. They had just two points to spare over a fancied Magherafelt but were runaway winners in the semi-final - 6-14 to 1-1.
Four Masters are back in the final for the second year in-a-row, having lost out to a late goal from Dungiven of Derry in last year's final.
