Fixture planners at Croke Park have sparked anger in Tyrone over a clash of two important games this weekend.

The county’s U20 footballers face Kildare in the All-Ireland final at 5pm on Saturday in Carrick-on-Shannon, while the Red Hand hurlers are in action against Donegal in what is essentially an All-Ireland semi-final more than 70 miles away in Carrickmore, just an hour and a half earlier.
