Four Masters to Play Portglenone in Ulster Minor Tournament

The Four Masters minors are scheduled to play against Antrim champions Portglenone in the quarter-finals of the St Paul's fonaCab Ulster Minor Tournament, following the official draw held on Saturday afternoon at the St Paul's club.

The Donegal Town side enters the competition after securing their fifth consecutive Donegal minor championship in early September with a victory over St Eunan's in Ardara. The club previously claimed the Jimmy McConville Cup in 2023 and 2024, and finished as tournament finalists in 2022.

In the other quarter-final pairings, Aughnamullen Sarsfields from Monaghan will meet Cavan's Denn, while Tyrone's St Patrick's are set to play Newry Shamrocks from Down. Additionally, Lavey from Derry will face the winner of the preliminary round match between Fermanagh's Newtownbutler and the yet-to-be-determined Armagh champions.

Preparations are underway for the quarter-final fixture as the club aims to continue its strong regional presence in the youth competition.
