McKenna Cup final controversy to be dealt with

February 28, 2007
Donegal's Tom Daly's first job as the new Ulster Council Chairman will be to sort out the controversy surrounding Tyrone's use of college players in the recent Dr. McKenna Cup final. The issue wasn't dealt with last week because the Ulster Council hadn't received a copy of the referee's report. Daly says he is hoping to discuss the matter next week. "At the first opportunity we will be able to deal with the matter. I'm not certain if we will be able to deal with it early next week or not, said the Ballyshannon clubman who succeeded Michael Greenan at the week-end. Daly revealed that he can't deal with the matter until he first conducts some housekeeping duties. "The immediate things I have to concentrate on is re-establishing the provincial council's committees and deciding who will chair those committees over the coming term. "That's work I will be doing this week with a view to formalising it at a council meeting on Tuesday, 6th of March. Later this week I will be meeting the new officers just to have a talk through how we will work together and organise things and agree the practical housekeeping things. "For the coming couple of days, getting the committee structures sorted out and formalised is a priority,'' said Daly.
