Ulster Council confirm Championship dates, times and venues

THE Ulster Council’s Competitions Controls Committee (CCC) have released the confirmed fixture scheduled for the 2021 Ulster Senior Football Chamionship.

Donegal will play their preliminary round tie against Down at Páirc Esler in Newry in Sunday, June 27 with a 1.15pm throw-in.

Declan Bonner’s Donegal, the beaten Ulster finalists in 2020, have to navigate the first hurdle in this year’s championship.

They head for the Marshes with a quarter-final clash with Derry, who are under the guidance of ex-Donegal manager Rory Gallagher, up for grabs.

That quarter-final has been fixed for Sunday, July 11 at 4pm. If Donegal overcome Down, the game will be at Sean Mac Cumhaill Park with Derry set to have a home game at Celtic Park if Down prevail.
