THE ULSTER SFC quarter-final between Armagh and Antrim has been set for a 12.30pm throw-in at Corrigan Park on Saturday 12 April.
The early throw-in time has been chosen to allow Armagh supporters travel to Croke Park for the Ladies Division 1 final between Armagh and Kerry.
The game was finally fixed for Corrigan Park last night following a disagreement over where the game should take place between Antrim — who had home advantage for the tie — and the Ulster Council.
The Ulster Council had concerns over the capacity of Corrigan Park to hold what was expected to be a big Armagh crowd attending their first championship game since winning the All Ireland.
