Down boss frustrated with Ulster hurling final delay

Down manager Gerard Monan has dubbed the Ulster Council's failure to reschedule the Ulster SHC final between Down and reigning champions Antrim as 'diabolical'.

The Ulster Senior Hurling Championship was due to be wrapped up on July 7 according to the Council's original scheduling, but they had not bargained on a semi-final replay between Down and Derry and thus the final was pushed back to July 14.
