Ulster Club Leagues to commence this weekend
The 2020 Ulster Football Leagues get underway this evening with Monaghan club Tyholland making the trip to Derry to play Ballymaguigan.
In all 54 teams will be in action in the opening round of games over the next week across Senior, Intermediate and Junior grades.
The 2018 Ulster Senior League winners Eoghan Rua, Coleraine make their seasonal bow against the 2019 Antrim Senior Champions Cargin, while the 2019 beaten finalist Ballinderry will meet Donegal’s Kilcar in Irvinestown.
In the Intermediate grade Naomh Eoghan, formed following the amalgamation of Newtownstewart and Dregish, will play their first competitive game when they play Letterkenny Gaels.
Last year’s Junior winners Brocagh get their defence of their title underway when they make the trip to Monaghan to play Aughnamullen, while there are a couple of county derbies with Craigbane hosting fellow Derry club Limavady, and Tyrone club’s Castlederg and Urney set to clash.
