This year’s St Paul’s Ulster Club Minor Tournament comes to a conclusion on New Year’s Day, with Armagh and Monaghan champions facing off.  Dromintee have made their first-ever final after coming out on top against Derry’s Dungiven in the semi-final.  A third-quarter rally from the Armagh champions saw them overturn a five-point deficit to book a historic place in the Ulster minor final.  Clontibret hope to repeat the success of their 2002 crop, who lifted the Jim McConville Cup, which included Monaghan legend Conor McManus, who was a substitute in the final against Armagh Harps.

They secured their place in the final with a four-point win over Bredagh of Down, despite the Cherryvale outfit scoring three goals.
