Ulster may opt to play club final on Saturday

THE ULSTER Council will consider playing its senior club football final on Saturday as they are under pressure to provide an opponent for London champions Neasden Gaels in the All-Ireland club championship quarter-final the following weekend.

Last Sunday the club final between Crossmaglen Rangers of Armagh and Naomh Conall of Donegal went by the board, as did the junior final between Monaghan’s Corduff and Swanlinbar of Cavan, and Ulster Council PRO Oliver Galligan said yesterday that he and his colleagues were keen to have the game replayed this weekend.

“We have to wait and see, that’s all we can do,” said Galligan yesterday.
