Ulster University’s game at ATU Sligo will go ahead as planned

Three Sigerson Cup games scheduled for Tuesday night have been called off

The beginning of Ulster University’s defence of the Sigerson Cup is the only game to survive of those scheduled to be played on Tuesday.

After a burst of cold weather on Monday night, three of today’s scheduled Sigerson Cup round one games have been postponed.

Last year’s beaten finalists UCD’s trip to Mardyke to face UCC is one of the trio of games that have to be rescheduled, along with the University of Galway’s trip to TU Dublin and TUS Midlands' game against Maynooth University in Athlone.



Ulster University’s game against ATU Sligo at Knocknarea Arena is still fixed to go ahead on Tuesday night, with throw-in scheduled for 7pm.
