Ulster Council meet to discuss Derry appeal

THE Ulster Council is to meet later this week to discuss Derry’s appeal against the result of Sunday’s Ulster MFC Final against Tyrone.

Derry lost the decider by one point but were adamant that a point awarded to Tyrone’s Cormac Arkinson after 20 minutes was wide and TV footage seems to corroborate that assertion.

The Ulster Council’s own TV cameraman was filming the game from the steps below the press box in the main stand and confirmed that the attempt was wide of the Derry upright.
