This year's Ulster Senior Football Championship reaches a climax today, with the final taking place at Croke Park.

It's the first time the provincial decider has been held at GAA HQ since back in 2006.

The larger stadium is being utilised to maximise the size of the crowd, with 18,000 allowed to attend under the current Covid guidelines.

Monaghan reached the showpiece on the back of a dramatic win over Armagh, 4-17 to 2-21.

Tyrone booked their spot with a more comfortable 0-23 to 1-14 victory over Donegal.

The Red Hands have also improved hugely ever since a hammering by Kerry ended their National League campaign.

As for Monaghan, emotions will be running high after the tragic death of u-20 captain Brendan Óg Duffy.
