2014 Ulster Senior Football Championship
The 2014 Ulster Senior Football Championship is the 126th[1] installment of the annual Ulster Senior Football Championship held under the auspices of Ulster GAA. It is one of the four provincial competitions of the 2014 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. Monaghan entered the competition as defending Ulster champions.
The draw was made on 3 October 2013.[2]
A mass brawl marred the meeting of Armagh and Cavan at the Athletic Grounds, with Cavan's star player Martin Dunne unable to play and his team losing.[3] Dunne sustained a broken hand and was seen watching the game with his arm in a sling.[4]
Teams
The Ulster championship is contested by the nine old counties in the Irish province of Ulster. Ulster comprises the six counties of Northern Ireland as well as Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan in the Republic of Ireland.
