Ulster chiefs in traffic approach to PSNI

The Ulster Council are liaising with the PSNI to ensure supporters attending the three football qualifiers games in the province scheduled for the July 12 weekend don’t have any difficulty getting to and from the venues.

Three of the four Round 2B games - Armagh-Galway, Derry-Wexford and Tyrone-Meath - are expected to be staged at the Athletic Grounds, Celtic Park and Healy Park respectively on July 11, a day before the Orangemen’s traditional celebrations.

No times have yet been announced for the games although most if not all of them are expected to be afternoon or early evening throw-ins so as to avoid the bonfires that night. Tyrone last year hosted their qualifier against Armagh on Sunday, July 13 after it was pushed back a day to avoid a clash with “The Twelfth”.
