Offaly's Leinster SFC first round game against Wexford on Saturday, May 28 has been brought forward to avoid a clash with the Champions League final.

Originally scheduled to throw in at 7pm in Tullamore's O'Connor Park, the game will now get underway at 5pm, meaning supporters will also be able to catch the big soccer final between Barcelona and Manchester United, which is being shown on several TV channels at 7.45pm.

The Ulster Council is refusing to move the starting time of their televised provincial quarter-final between Armagh and Down, which will go head-to-head with the Champions League final.

Ulster secretary Danny Murphy told today's Irish News: "I have already made it clear - there has been no change in that position.

"The Council took a decision on our championship last October. It was done in conjunction with Central Council's national fixtures policy, including live television games.

"It would appear that we have to check everyone's fixtures list before we make ours." Tweet
