The Red Hands have been forced to concede home advantage for tonight's game
Wednesday night’s Ulster U20 Football Championship game between Tyrone and Down has been switched from O’Neills Healy Park after the Omagh venue was deemed unplayable.
However, conditions deteriorated during the game with standing water in several parts of the pitch by the end of the game.Heavy rain on Tuesday night meant there was little chance of this evening’s U20 game being played in Healy Park and Ulster GAA officials confirmed this morning that an alternative venue was being sought
That has forced Tyrone to forfeit home advantage for tonight’s game, which will now be played at The Dub in Belfast at 7.30pm.
