After the lifting of Covid restrictions on spectators attending sporting events, Ulster GAA say they are ‘hopeful’ that the new figure of 500 people can attend games in the six counties of Northern Ireland this coming weekend.

A definitive announcement is due to come at some point today, but following a series of meetings last week with Croke Park, it would appear the green light will be there for county games.
