The GAA's Central Competitions Control Committee have confirmed that the abandoned Armagh v Dublin NFL Division 2 game will now be played on Sunday 13 April in Crossmaglen.

There was considerable anger among fans when the original fixture, due to be play last Sunday, was cancelled just 40 minutes before the scheduled throw-in.

Up to 1,500 supporters had paid in and were refused refunds.

The GAA have confirmed that entry to the refixed match will be all-ticket, with tickets being distributed free of charge.

Meanwhile the Division 3 Down v Limerick game will take place in Newry on the same date also at 2.30 pm.

The CCCC have also confirmed that Round 7 of the NFL, Division 2 and Division 3, have now been rescheduled for Sunday 20 April.

The finals in Division 1, 2, 3 and 4 will go ahead as scheduled on 27 April unless there is a need for a play-off in Division 2.

In the event that a play-off is required, it will be played on Sunday 27 April with the Division 2 final then scheduled for the week-end of 3 May.
