Celtic Park to host MacRory Cup final

The 2025 Danskebank MacRory Cup final between Abbey Vocational School, Donegal Town and St Pat's Maghera (Derry) will be played at Celtic Park in Derry on Sunday, February 9th.

It's the first time that the Derry venue will host Ulster Colleges gaelic football's showpiece final in the competition's 101 year history.

The Athletic Grounds normally hosts the MacRory - but Ulster Schools confirmed at Wednesday's launch of the finals that due to recent Storm Éownyn damage to the Armagh venue, both the MacRory and MacLarnon deciders will be played at Celtic Park.

St Patrick’s, Maghera and Abbey Vocational School, Donegal will throw-in on Sunday, February 9th at 3pm, with the MacLarnon Cup final between Dean Maguirc, Carrickmore and Patrician, Carrickmacross the curtain-raiser  at 1pm.
