The Cavan versus Tyrone McKenna Cup game this weekend is noticeable by its absence from the official fixture list as the Ulster Council are set to meet to discuss the O'Neill County's use of four players who were meant to assist their colleges in the competition. It is understood the fixture has been put on hold pending the outcome of an emergency meeting of the Ulster GAA Council tomorrow night (Tuesday). The meeting will determine whether if any punishment is handed down to Tyrone after the county fielded four university players in their game against Derry last weekend. Under competition rules, universities have first call on an eligible player. Jordanstown's Damian McCaul, Colm Cavanagh and Brendan Boggs and Cathal McCarron of St Mary's all lined out for Tyrone on Sunday, despite a warning from the Ulster Council last week that this was in breach of the competition rules. Tyrone boss Mickey Harte has said though that the players concerned opted to line out for their county. Tweet
