THE ALLIANZ FOOTBALL League meeting between Tyrone and Cavan will take place on Sunday 12 March, it’s been confirmed.
Storm Ewan claimed its first victim over the weekend when the all-Ulster affair yesterday was postponed.
The rescheduled game on Sunday week will take place in Healy Park at 2pm.
Several grounds survived late pitch inspections as the storm battered the country, with heavy rain putting a number of games in danger of being called off.
In the end the clash at Healy Park was the only game to be postponed. Referee David Gough made the call after walking the pitch at 1.30pm – just an hour before throw-in.
It was a call that could have been made far earlier in the day with supporters in mind.
Surface water covered significant portions of the field and the Cavan squad were left to wait on the waterlogged field before the referee’s eventual arrival.

Great fighter and great steal for Bellator. UFCs partnership with Reebok is turning a lot of fighters against them. Good to see Bellator getting stronger as they promote Irish lads under the Bamma banner
Donegals Joesph Duffy has left the UFC also. He refused a new contract. The Reebok deal really is screwing up the fighters earning capacity.
@Gary: Ryan Bader came out recently and said he was earning 3-4 times more at Bellator due to sponsorships than at UFC since the Reebok deal. Hopefully more follow and switch
@brucelee on the decline?? He’s top 5 and if he beat weidmen (highly likely he would have) could have got a title shot
@Ronan Barrett: he did beat Weidman
He’s on the decline but this signing is a great statement by bellator.
@Bruce Lee: Please explain how he is on the decline.
As step backwards for mousasi , bet he will be back in UFC after fight deal ends .
Hope he fights at LHW because middleweight is barren in Bellator. They have a few big name old fighters they could feed to him. Then he can get revenge on King Mo and win the belt against Bader
