Ulster GAA has been approached by Ulster Rugby over the use of a GAA stadium for a pre-season match.

According to a report from BBC Sport NI, Ulster GAA is currently sourcing some suitable venues while Ulster’s home ground Kingspan Stadium is being resurfaced.

Armagh’s Athletic Grounds is said to be a front-runner to stage the pre-season clash, with Healy Park in Omagh and Derry's Celtic Park also in the running.

Times, dates and venues for Ulster Rugby’s pre-season games are yet to be finalised.
