It’s official – the Ulster final is heading for Croke Park.

The Ulster Council confirmed that the blue riband day of Ulster senior football will be staged at headquarters on Saturday, July 31, with a 4pm throw-in. This is to accommodate as many spectators as possible in these Covid times with appropriate social distancing.
