NHL Draft Fixtures 2009

Whats this?
Antrim having to play a Down team outside the home of ulster hurling? Well I never!!!!!!

Don't worry Skull, the Ulster council have come up trumps again!!!

2009 Ulster SHC fixtures
May 9: Brewster Park, Fermanagh v Cavan; Letterkenny: Donegal v Tyrone; Athletic Grounds: Armagh v Monaghan; May 17/24: Ruislip: London v Fermanagh/Cavan; Donegal/Tyrone v Armagh/Monaghan; If: Donegal v Armagh (toss); Donegal v Monaghan at Clones; Tyrone v Armagh at Omagh; Tyrone v Monaghan (toss)
May 31: Quarter-finals, Casement Park: Derry v London/Fermanagh/Cavan; Down v Donegal/Tyrone/Armagh/Monaghan
June 14: Semi-finals Casement Park
June 28: SHC final: Antrim v qualifier

Now I wonder if they've deliberately left the final venue out as it may be in Derry city, Armagh, Omagh or Newry!!

Can antrim still win the ulster even tho they're playing leinster?

Yes they can have their cake and eat it! 

I suppose it's only one game for Antrim either way but unless the likes of Down and Derry buck up it'll not be much use to them.

Can't imagine I'll be making the three- or four-hour away trip to see Wexford face the might of Kerry this year!

Away to Antrim might be pretty tricky too.
