The Irish Football Association has issued a statement after a body representing Presbyterian churches in the Ballymena area raised concerns about the Irish Cup final being played on a Sunday.
Ballymena United will play Crusaders in the showpiece final on Sunday 7 May, with the IFA confirming scheduling of the final had to be reconsidered after the King's Coronation was confirmed for Saturday 6 May.
The Association added the decision to move the final to a Sunday, for the first time ever, was taken back in December.
