Newbuildings are the relative new kids on the block, but having won the Premiership and Faughan Valley Cups in recent times, are looking for their first senior cup to make it a treble.
While they haven't been as consistent as last year, they remain a very dangerous side filled with potential match winners.
It promises to be an intriguing contest, with Newbuildings the slightest of underdogs.
Play on Friday starts at 11am.
Newbuildings squad to be confirmed on Thursday night.
