Corrigan Park saga 'shines a bigger light' on Casement

Armagh assistant manager Conleith Gilligan and Derry boss Paddy Tally both feel the stand-off over a venue for Antrim's Ulster Senior Football Championship quarter-final with Armagh draws attention to the failure to redevelop Casement Park.

The Saffrons have been drawn at home against the All-Ireland champions in the last eight of the provincial championship but their Corrigan Park home in west Belfast will not be able to accommodate the demand for tickets from Armagh supporters.

Without a bigger suitable venue in the county, Ulster GAA had said the game would be moved to Pairc Esler in Newry.
