Ulster GAA has confirmed that the final of its 2020 provincial football championship will not be held in St Tiernach's Park in Clones.

The Monaghan venue has hosted every Anglo-Celt Cup showpiece since 2006, when the decider between Donegal and Armagh was held at Croke Park.

This year's final will be held at 4pm on November 22, with the winter schedule ruling Clones out as an option.

"Due to there being no floodlights at the venue, St. Tiernach's Park, Clones is unable to be considered as a venue to host the Ulster Senior Football Championship final," read a statement.

"The venue for the final will be confirmed at a future Ulster CCC meeting."
