Division Three Final: The opening salvo at headquarters today doesn't even affect Division Three's make-up next season as Highfield have already been promoted.

Although Greystones finished second in the table, Ards will go in as favourites thanks to their attacking options in the back line. Their chief dangerman is Kiwi Nopera Stewart - a one-time team-mate of Christian Cullen and Carlos Spenser at provincial schools level.

Greystones are waiting on a number of casualties. On the blind-side flank Graham Murphy is trying to shake off a hamstring strain - Paul Dunne will deputise if required - while Geoff Mackey is also a doubt in the centre.

ARDS: S Paul; N Beggs, N Stewart, S Devoy, R McClemence; S Bell, N Hollinger; P Eccles, R Fisher, J Edwards, G Presho, D Tweed, M Creighton (capt), J McDowell, M O'Shaughnessy.
