“Finish on the day protocols” for provincial club semi-finals

The Ulster Council have insisted that ‘finish on the day protocols’ will
apply in their provincial club semi-finals – despite some opposition
towards penalty shoot-outs in games.
On Saturday evening, Donegal champions Buncrana defeated Tyrone’s Rock
in a dramatic penalty shootout after the sides were level following
normal and extra time of their Ulster Junior semi-final in Celtic Park.
The following day, Fermanagh’s Derrygonnelly Harps beat Trillick of
Tyrone in their senior championship quarter-final in Enniskillen.
There has been much debate on the format – although the method is in
place in other provinces and counties.
Ulster Council PRO Declan Woods said:  The method will be “absolutely”
in place for the semi-finals, but the Ulster Club finals will go to a
replay if required.
