Corrigan Park will host Antrim’s Ulster SFC quarter-final against All-Ireland champions Armagh on April 12.

After weeks of uncertainty and controversy over where the game should be played, Antrim’s objection against the Ulster CCC’s decision to move the tie to Páirc Esler due to Health & Safety concerns and the West Belfast venue's limited capacity has been successful.

The Saffrons were adamant they should have home advantage after being drawn out of the hat first, and had even threatened to boycott the game if it was moved from Corrigan Park. They adopted a 'Corrigan Park or nowhere' stance which has now paid off.  

“It’s nice to have a definitive answer and it is nice to park that,” Antrim manager Andy McEntee said.

“So, all we have to worry about now is Armagh - which is a considerable worry!"
