Three-time reigning Connacht champions Sligo Grammar take on old rivals Marist College Athlone in rugby's coveted Senior A Boys Schools Cup Final on Wednesday afternoon in Ballina.
The final is being staged at the Mayo venue while redevelopment work at Dexcom Stadium (formerly the Sportsground) continues.
With Sligo Grammar having taken home the trophy in 2022, 2023 and 2024, Marist will be looking to de-throne the Sligo side and bring the trophy down the N4 to Athlone.
These two sides have only met once this season thus far when they prouced an absolutely thrilling Senior A Boys Schools League Final back in December which saw Marist come out with a three-point win.
Both teams have had their eyes on the prize this season, topping their tables in the League and Cup and storming into the final with clean records except their one meeting in the League Final in December 2024.
Marist welcomed an impressive Coláiste Éinde side for their semi-final which they won 32-17 while Sligo Grammar travelled to Ballinasloe to face Garbally College in their semi-final where they sealed their Cup Final spot with a 19-10 win.
Wednesday's final kicks off at 2pm - and it will be livestreamed by Connacht Rugby for €7.
