Ulster final debate rolls on

A TOP New York official will fly to Ireland this weekend to ask the Ulster Hurling Council and Antrim to play the Ulster SHC final in America in August.

New York chairman Seamus Dooley has not given up hope of staging the final at Gaelic Park despite Antrim objections. Antrim are set to be awarded the title after the postponement of Sunday’s scheduled decider at Casement Park. Ulster council secretary Danny Murphy said options were “very limited”..

New York do not want to make the trip because of possible visa problems.
