Donegal may have to wait until March for venue call

All-Ireland champions Donegal may have to wait until March before discovering whether they can host Tyrone in Ballybofey in their Ulster quarter-final.

Reconstruction work is currently being done to MacCumhaill Park in the hope the capacity will rise to 17,000 and it will be able to stage the eagerly-awaited May fixture in what will be the counties’ third provincial meeting in as many years.

If the venue’s capacity isn’t deemed fit to hold the match, Clones is likely to be chosen as the neutral venue despite Donegal having won home advantage.
