Ulster still says 'no'

Mark Gallagher samples the mood on Rule 42 among the key Ulster counties.

DONEGAL and Cavan are likely to stand together as the only Ulster counties supporting a change to Rule 42 at next week's Congress.

Donegal clubs voted on Monday night 29-23 in favour of the temporary opening of Croke Park whilst Lansdowne Road is being re-developed. County chairman Charlie O'Donnell had asked delegates at the March meeting to get a mandate from each of their clubs before the vote was taken.
