Intermediate final now off also

Intermediate turning into a farce if what I'm hearing is true. Cushendun expected to play Ulster quarter final the week before the Antrim Intermediate Final

Don't see how it's a farce, certainly not ideal, but what can ye do?? Ulster fixtures are put out then the various counties fall in behind that and set up their own championships. We can fire many a thing at the county board, but even they can't be held responsible for the weather.

Don't think it's really fair to ask them to play midweek they should get to celebrate their championship win at a weekend like every other side

I agree they can't do much about the weather but surely this could have been organised better, why was the hurling finals after the football finals when the football ulster didn't start for another 3 weeks after their finals, where as intermediate winners were expected to play Ulster the week after their final?  Surely it would make more sense for the hurling to played before the football to leave room for a refixed game if a scenario such as this would occur.

If i was Cushendun id be conceding ulster. The goal is Antrim, Playing lavey could negativly impact their chances should the carey game be played the following week.

Awful position to be put in and could've easily been avoided. Similar amount of teams in junior this year with a different format.
