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.

The game had been fixed at a neutral venue in Newry but Antrim pressed for their right to home advantage. The decision was then reversed at a meeting of the Ulster Competitions Control Committee on Monday night.
