The Ulster Council has confirmed the times and venues for next month’s senior soccer championship matches.
The location of the final (Sunday, November 22, 4:00 PM) will be confirmed at a future meeting of the Ulster CCC, but clones will not be considered as there are no spotlights in St Tiernach’s Park.
The last final held outside the traditional venue was at Croke Park in 2006 when Armagh defeated Donegal.

The next day, Donegal host Tyrone in the quarterfinals at Pairc MacCumhaill, Ballybofey (1:15 PM) and Armagh travels to Celtic Park to face Derry (4:00 PM).
On Saturday 7th November Antrim will play Monaghan or Cavan at Corrigan Park, Belfast at 1:15 PM or Kingspan Breffni Park, Cavan if the previous venue does not receive a safety certificate.
