Donegal Town pair Karl Lacey and Barry Dunnion will be on the sideline with Kilcoo this Sunday when the Down champions take on Errigal Ciaran of Tyrone in the Ulster Club final.

Lacey is in his second year as   manager of Kilcoo with Dunnion as his assistant. The Down champions lost out to Scotstown last year but avenged that defeat two weeks ago and now have the chance of lifting the Ulster title. 

 They overcame Crosserlough in the opening round with little to spare but hit five goals in an impressive semi-final win over Scotstown.

They now take on Errigal Ciaran in the Box-It Athletic Grounds on Sunday. Errigal Ciaran have played three games so far, defeating St Eunan's, Newbridge and Clann Eireann.

The four-time All-Star, Lacey, will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Mickey Moran, who took Kilcoo to Ulster and All-Ireland success in 2022.

Meanwhile another Donegal coach, Aaron Kyles was part of the backroom team of Slaughtneil hurlers, who won the Ulster club hurling title last weekend.
