Ulster Council cool on moving crunch clash to Croker

ULSTER COUNCIL secretary Danny Murphy has poured cold water on the campaign to hold this summer’s provincial football championship first round clash between Tyrone and Armagh at Croke Park.

Omagh’s Healy Park has been pencilled in as the venue but demand for tickets is expected to exceed the ground’s capacity of 25,000.

The counties have shared the last ten Ulster titles and their modern rivalry is such that the possibility of their potential pairing in the 2004 final prompted the decision to move the provincial football final to Dublin for the first time.
