So Authorities feel several hundred supporters can distance themselves sensibly around the periphery of a GAA pitch in Emyvale but 4 miles down the road in Aghaloo a similar scenario would represent a threat to Health and Hygiene protocols- Ulster Council must know this is wrong

Tyrone v Donegal U20s last night was a brilliant game but there was only a couple of hundred fans at Celtic Park to witness it- marked contrast to the big crowds who attended the Ulster U21 Cship when it had its own window in the calendar every Wednesday night in mid March
