It will be a festival of Ladies football at the Centre of Excellence in Bekan this weekend with all 5 adult league finals taking place.
The heavyweight clash in Division 1 will see a repeat of last year's county final as Knockmore take on Westport. Westport came out on top on that occasion last October and when the two teams faced off in the group stage of the competition, it ended in a thrilling draw. This is expected to be a right battle with Knockmore and Westport overcoming Charlestown and Burrishoole respectively in the semi-finals.
In the Division 2 final, former All-Ireland Junior finalists Claremorris take on MacHale Rovers. A goal separated Claremorris from Moy Davitts during their successful semi-final outing while MacHale Rovers beat Swinford Killasser by a four-goal margin in the other, penultimate tie.
Parke KC will take on Aghamore in the Division 3 final. Aghamore made light work of St Brigid's in the semi-final while Parke did a similar job in the last round against Balla to advance to the final.
Kiltimagh and Tuar Mhic Eadaigh will battle it out in the Division 4 final having overcome Cill Chomain and Kilmaine respectively in the last round of the competition.
The Division 5 final will be played between teams from the western and southern tips of the county as Achill and Shrule/Glencorrib go head to head.
A number of Shield finals will also be taking place between the teams that finished 3rd in each of the A and B groups.
Castlebar Mitchels A and Kilmovee Shamrocks face off in the Division 1 Shield final with Davitts and Kilmoremoy to contest the Division 2 Shield Final.
