Ulster GAA Fixtures for weekend 15^th / 16^th January:

At its meeting tonight, the CCC representing the Ulster Council and the counties of Ulster expressed their condolences and deepest sympathy to the Harte and McAreavey families, and to the GAA in Tyrone and Down, and to the respective clubs of Errigal Ciaran and Tullylish at this sad and difficult time.

A number of changes and decisions have been made as a consequence of the tragic and untimely death of Michaela McAreavey.  A minute’s silence will be observed and flags will be flown at half mast at all games that are played in the Barrett Sports Lighting Dr McKenna Cup this weekend as a mark of respect.

After consideration of all circumstances, it was agreed by CCC Comhairle Uladh that the Fear Manach v Tír Eoghain game scheduled for Brewster Park on Sunday 16^th January be postponed, and rescheduled for Wednesday 26^th January at 7.30pm.

It has been further decided that, with the co-operation of both units, that the Muineachan v QUB fixture originally scheduled for Sunday 16^th January has been brought forward to Saturday 15^th January at Clones at 2.00pm.

Please see the complete revised fixture schedule for the Barrett Sports Lighting Dr McKenna Cup as a consequence of these changes as agreed:
