McIver criticises poor match scheduling as Dromore fall short

DROMORE manager Paul McIver has hit out at match scheduling which left his side with just a week to prepare for last Sunday’s Ulster Club SFC tie against Ballinderry.

The Tyrone side had won the county championship seven days previously, while the Derry men had a fortnight to recover and prepare following their domestic success. And Ballinderry displayed greater staying power at Healy Park, where they emerged with a two-point win.

“It was unfair to have to play another championship match in the space of six days,” said McIver.
