A repeat of last year’s TG4 Intermediate semi-final pits Tyrone against Down.
This time, it’s in the Ulster Championship and there’s a final place at stake.
Tyrone have Lidl NFL Division 1 experience from this year to call upon but Down are the provincial champions.

Monaghan v Cavan; Éire Óg, Smithboro, 2pm
Monaghan lost out in last year’s provincial final and will be anxious to go one step better this time.
But they’ll have it all to do against a Cavan side on the rise.
The Breffni County landed the Lidl National League Division 3 title recently and will be high on confidence.
Monaghan won three of their seven outings in Division 2 of the Lidl NFL and this one could go right to the wire.
Monaghan: O Kelly; C Brennan, S Brady, A Loughman; G Hanratty, J Duffy, A Garland (capt.); A Burns, N Flannigan; C Kelly, L Garland, C Treanor; L Connolly, E Sherry, L Maguire.
