The Offaly side are looking to end the season a high.

A Father and Son combination has led an Offaly football club all the way to the Counties Cup Final.

John and Ronan Bergin make up the management team of a Birr Town FC team preparing to take on Monksland United this weekend.

Birr have managed to overcome Coolrain, Mullingar Town in the quarter final, and Ballinahown in the semis.

Ronan Bergin was the team's main marksman last season, but has missed out this campaign after an ACL injury.

Speaking to David Hollywood the pair look forward to the final and start by talking about their working relationship:

Nathan Williams and Johnny Corboy have been leading the team on the pitch, starting with Nathan, they say the mood in the camp is good:

Kick off at Leah Victoria Park in Tullamore is set for 6.30 on Saturday and we'll have live commentary on Saturday Beat with Brian Moss.
