St. Brigid's senior football manager, Anthony Cunningham, expects Brian Stack and Mark Daly to be fit for Sunday week's All-Ireland Club Senior Football Championship final against Dingle in Croke Park.

Stack suffered a horrific fall after contesting possession with Rory Beggan against Scotstown, igniting fears he had suffered a rib injury, while Mark Daly had to be withdrawn after suffering a knock to his lower back/hip area early in the second half at Kingspan Breffni on Sunday last.

However, at the team's press night in Kiltoom ahead of the final on Wednesday evening, Cunningham confirmed that both players were fine and should be available for selection.

"Brian is fine, a bit sore and a bit stiff, but he'll be fine. He hasn't broken anything, so he'll be okay.

"Mark's was a hard tackle. He was a bit shook afterwards, but he'll be fine too."
