WHILE the Ulster Final lies on the horizon later this month the focus this weekend is back on club football and those two outstanding first round replays in the Senior and Intermediate Championships - and they promise to again be thrillers.
Dromore, champions in 2007 and beaten finalists twelve months, take on Coalisland Fianna, while earlier in the evening county star PJ Quinn will line out for Moortown when they clash with Edendork.

These two teams have met twice this year already, in league and championship, with two draws the outcomes after highly entertaining games.
Their opening Championship clash in Coalisland was a strange affair with Edendork dominating for long periods and for 50 minutes looked certain to prevail.
However, Moortown really came to life in the final stages with Michael Hagan equalising with two minutes remaining.
Indeed, Moortown had a glorious opportunity to win the game but poor decision making on the ball cost them dearly.
Edendork go in to the replay on the back of some fine performances during their league campaign although they will be missing the services of John McGuckin, through suspension.
Daniel Grimley and Gary McCurry both troubled the Moortown defence first day out while David Toner will be hoping to repeat his fine display of five points.
Moortown were very much reliant on the accuracy of Michael Hagan and Colum Campbell, and Moortown management will be hoping that county star PJ Quinn has a bigger influence on proceedings send time around.
Did Edendork take their foot off the pedal or did Moortown just under perform on the night?
The absence of McGuckin at the edge of the square could just tilt the balance in favour of the men from the Loughshore.
Times Tip: Moortown
