The Derrymacash ladies will carry the favourites tag into the contest with Eire Og awaiting the winners.
Keady v Middletown – Saturday 27 August – 8.00

Division Three side Clonmore lay ahead in the quarter finals for whoever comes out on top on Saturday.
St Paul’s v Derrynoose – Sunday 28 August – 1.30

Senior Championship
Dromahill v Lissummon – Friday 26 August 7.00
Fresh off the back of their Division Two league success, Dromahill head into the championship full of confidence.
They have Armagh stars Aoife McCoy, Shauna Grey and Megan Sheridan to call upon to strengthen their hand.
Lissummon will rely on the skill of the Marley sisters, who have backboned the county team for a number of years.
Dromahill won handsomely when the sides clashed during the league and have only lost once this season.
Killeavy v Crossmaglen – Sunday 28 August – 5.00
Promotion to Division One was a daunting prospect for Killeavy and they have struggled at the top tier this season.
They finished bottom of the league and failed to win a game and will aim to turn their fortunes around when they face Crossmaglen.
The league clash will over the hosts some hope, as the Rangers just edged that clash with one-point to spare. 6-7 to 6-6.
Alex Clarke was responsible for 4-6 of that tally and Killeavy must shut her down to be in with a chance.
