ULSTER GAA ARE facing an embarrassing climb-down after the Antrim senior football team and management have insisted they will only play their Ulster senior football championship match against Armagh at Corrigan Park.
In an interview with BBCNI, Antrim’s long-serving Paddy McBride has said that their camp will not entertain the thought of the game being moved to a bigger venue, such as Derry’s Celtic Park and Newry’s Pairc Elser.

In 2022, the county footballers were drawn at home to play Cavan, who applied to the Ulster Council to have the game played at an alternative county venue due to concerns about capacity. However, strong opposition from Antrim led to Ulster reversing their decision.Paddy McBride. Presseye / John McIlwaine/INPHO Presseye / John McIlwaine/INPHO / John McIlwaine/INPHO
