THE FIRST PROVINCIAL football final pairings of 2018 are known after today’s action with the Connacht and Munster deciders set to serve up repeats of last year’s encounters.
Galway blitzed Sligo in Salthill to confirm that they will face Roscommon in Connacht on Sunday 17 June while Kerry stormed past Clare to book a date with Cork in Munster on Saturday 23 June.
Roscommon will have home advantage for the Connacht final after there had been some doubt over Dr Hyde Park’s suitability to host the match. It will be the third successive year that they have faced Galway with the Tribesmen winning the 2016 clash in Castlebar and the Rossies triumphing last July in Pearse Stadium.
Cork will have home advantage for their encounter with a 7pm throw-in time in what will be the first Munster senior football final in Páirc Uí Chaoimh since the stadium’s redevelopment.
Kerry are chasing a sixth successive crown while Cork are aiming to atone for last year’s final defeat and take Munster honours for the first time since 2012. Cork’s last victory in a Munster final against Kerry was in 2008 in Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Don’t think Conor McHugh played a key role for DCU in their recent Sigerson Cup final victory over UCC as he was taken off at half time. For the record 0-10 (8fs) is what he scored in 4 Sigerson cup games for DCU
Spot on
Still a huge prospect & very young. Sigerson football makes Donegal look like a 7 a side team not exactly conducive to great forward play.
You’re right though article is lazy enough. I thought they’d give us the inside track on some unknowns not lads with SFC careers in their 3rd year.
