    There would have been a fair few Kilcoo and Glen fans going to bed wondering last night.

    With the onset of wintry conditions this week, the postponement of Saturday's Intermediate Football decider seemed like being a harbinger for more weather-enforced disruption.

    Thankfully, though, the Athletic Grounds surface passed this morning's pitch inspection having just about escaped mother nature's frosty grasp.

    So we're good to go for today's Ulster Club Senior Football Final between Derry champions Glen and Down kingpins Kilcoo.

    This is a huge day for Glen, who have never played in a provincial decider. For the Maghera club, it's either going to be the triumphant climax of an exciting journey, or another heartbreaking loss at the hands of Kilcoo.

    Speaking of the Magpies, they are chasing a third Ulster title in a row. Victory over Glen will take them one step closer to defending their All-Ireland title.

    This should be a proper heavyweight clash between two of the best in Ulster Club football. Get the kettle on - throw-in is fast approaching!
