Ulster senior league champions according to a Harps fan on EL forum. They play in a place called St. Johnston, just outside border with Derry.

Hi guys,

Kildrum Tigers would be my local club - I am club PRO and Assistant secretary. We hail from the village of St Johnston, a few miles from the Donegal-Derry border, but due to ongoing work at our own pitch we are likely to have to switch to Bonagee - in Letterkenny.

All going well, the game will take place in Bonagee on Easter Monday afternoon. i will confirm as soon as I know.

league cup games are usually tuesday or wednesday evenings, is there floodlights in bonagee?

It has to be played during that week afaik.

Bonagee doesn't have floodlights, if the game was played at around 5 it would be safe enough. Alternatively it could be played in Sallaghraine in Letterkenny (same venue as where the futsal was held on sunday, top notch facility)

No it couldn't - Sallaghagraine is way, way off being up to scratch for that kind of game. No dugouts, half the lights not working etc etc...

Also, this game is now likely to be confirmed tomorrow as being at Bonagee at 4pm on Easter Monday afternoon. League Cup games are usually played on this Monday - didn't Harps play Sligo on the Bank Holiday last year? Hopefully with the afternoon kick off we'll draw a decent crowd to Bonagee, which is an excellent Intermediate facility - I will confirm for sure tomorrow as soon as I know
