Steelstown ladies ask Ulster council to 'do right thing' after fixture shambles

Steelstown ladies GAA club has asked the Ulster council to 'do the right thing' and fix their Intermediate football provincial semi-final for this Sunday. It follows a shambolic episode where the squad and management set out for the fixture today, only to turn back home an hour later.

The Derry champions beat Ballyshannon of Donegal in the Ulster quarter-final on Sunday - a game that was also rescheduled after the original game was called off two minutes before throw-in due to a waterlogged pitch - and were asked to travel to face Cavan champions Castlerahan-Denn in the semi-final on Wednesday night.

The Derry city club were furious about having to make the four-hour round trip to south Cavan midweek but their appeals to the Ulster Ladies Gaelic Football Association fell on deaf ears after 'consideration' and the game was scheduled to go ahead - until the 11th hour.
