Overview
- Ulster GAA’s competition control committee awarded Down the points from their game against Armagh and declared Fermanagh v Cavan null and void with no points to either side.
- The rulings followed breaches of the Pre-season 3rd Level Policy, which prohibits the use of Sigerson Cup players in the McKenna Cup.
- Reports identified Armagh’s Fergal O’Brien and Aaron O’Neill, Fermanagh’s Fionan O’Brien and Cian O’Brien, and Cavan’s Darragh Lovett as the ineligible players.
- Down move level with Tyrone in Section A as Armagh drop to the bottom after the overturning of Wednesday’s result.
- Fermanagh and Cavan remain without points in Section B behind leaders Monaghan, who can reach the semi-finals by avoiding defeat on Sunday.
