The GAA has confirmed that the rescheduled National Football League game between Armagh and Dublin will now take place on Sunday April 13th at 2.30 p.m.

Sunday's Division 2 game in Crossmaglen was postponed at the 11th hour after match referee Derek Fahy deemed the pitch to be unplayable.

The clash had been provisionally rearranged for Wednesday, April 9th but following a meeting of the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) this afternoon, the GAA confirmed that itwill now take place four days later in Crossmaglen.

While the GAA said on Monday that there would be free admission to the rescheduled game, CCCC chair Jimmy Dunne has since contradicted the claim, saying that the decision on whether to grant free entry would have to be made by the finance committee in Croke Park.
