Loughgiel boss blasts ‘farcical’ delay in Ulster final

A leading hurling manager has slammed the Ulster Council as “farcical” after it had to indefinitely postpone the provincial final.

Ulster Council chiefs were forced into an embarrassing climbdown yesterday and forced to shelve the November 3 date for the decider between Antrim and Down — after the Saffron officials pointed out that November is a closed month for inter-county activity according to GAA rules.

The game didn’t go ahead on its scheduled date of July 7 after the semi-final between Down and Derry went to a replay.
