GAA:Tonight's Dr McKenna Cup final between Tyrone and Derry has been postponed after the death of Paddy Harte, brother of Tyrone manager Mickey.

Mickey Harte and his family suffered the tragic death of his daughter Michaela earlier this year but the manager had returned to the inter county scene.

Tyrone were due to take on Derry at the Athletic Grounds in tonight’s decider after they defeated Cavan in last Wednesday’s semi-final.

The Ulster council said new fixture details would be confirmed as soon as possible.
