Red Hands to face Mourne

TYRONE and Down will face off in the first of the Ulster SFC semi-finals at Belfast’s Casement Park at 5.15pm on Saturday, June 19, it was confirmed yesterday.

It will be the third fixture held at the ground this summer, following on from yesterday’s Monaghan-Armagh quarter-final and Tyrone’s opening victory over Liam Bradley’s Antrim late last month.

The second semi-final will take place eight days later. A 3.30pm throw-in has already been decided upon but the venue will depend on who emerges from the last quarter-final between Cavan and Fermanagh on Saturday.
