All-Ireland SFC qualifiers round 2 dates and venues confirmed as Antrim set to host Kildare at Corrigan Park

Antrim will host Kildare at Corrigan Park in their round 2 SFC qualifier on Saturday week - subject to GAA approval.

The Saffrons are provisionally down to play the fixture at the 5,000 capacity ground, the home of the St John's club in west Belfast, where they have been playing their home league games while the Casement Park redevelopment saga continues.

Corrigan Park will be subject to inspection and safety certification but, after playing their Ulster championship game against Tyrone in Armagh last month, there is likely to be no campaign required reminiscent of Kildare's own 'Newbridge or Nowhere' protest last summer.

The dates, times and venues for the second round qualifiers was confirmed this afternoon.
