Scotstown v Newbridge LIVE: Updates from Armagh as Ulster club semi-final gets second chance after mudfest the first time round

Second time’s the charm for the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship semi-final between Scotstown and Newbridge today.

The two teams take to the field again after their match-up last week was called off at half-time due to the dangerous conditions caused by the weather.

Scotstown were leading by four points at the break, with Matty Maguire netting an early goal for the Tydavnet outfit, with Derry champions Newbridge struggling to get their game going in the 30 minutes of football played at Healy Park.

Referee Joe McQuillan performed a test on the field at the break, bouncing a ball which skidded away instead of returning to the Cavan man’s hand.

Despite the Monaghan champions’ protests, the official called the game, and Scotstown were back to square one, much to the relief of Newbridge, who looked dazed and confused under the Omagh lights.

After yesterday’s Ulster Senior Hurling final, the two sides will hope that the Athletic Grounds’ pitch has held up against the elements, with early forecasts giving rain in the Cathedral City.

The winner of this semi-final will take on Kilcoo in the Ulster CSFC final at the Athletic Grounds after the Magpies eliminated Erne Gaels in their last-four clash last week.
