Tyrone LGFA fumes at All-Ireland fixtures clash

Tyrone GAA officials have turned down appeals for changes to this weekend’s football championship fixtures, which clash with the county’s ladies team playing in the All-Ireland final.

Supporters have been forced to choose between club and county, with families torn between attending a game at home or travelling to Croke Park for the Red Hands’ IFC title decider against Tipperary.

A statement from the Tyrone Competitions Control Committee (CCC) said every effort had been made to avoid a clash, with games fixed for Sunday kept to a minimum, in order to allow as many supporters as possible to travel to Dublin.
