The senior men’s final between Thomas Mackle and Arthur McDonagh is the intriguing bill topper at next weekend’s All-Ireland final series in Baile Bhuirne.

Starting on Friday there are five finals before Sunday’s senior men’s final. That is the first senior All-Ireland between two opponents who have faced each other since their formative years. Mackle is going for his second senior title, while it’s McDonagh’s first final.
