GAA: Owenbeg to host Derry v Down championship double header

There will be a double dose of Derry and Down championship action this Saturday in Owenbeg, after the All-Ireland camogie clash was switched from Swatragh.

John O'Dwyer's camogie side face Down in a must win group game to keep their semi-final hopes alive, with a home game against Tipperary to follow.

The camogie showdown will throw-in at 3.00 followed by Derry's All-Ireland U20 B semi-final, also against Down, at 5.00.

Both games were originally scheduled for 5.00, at different venues, but an arrangement was reached with the camogie game now in Owenbeg, allowing fans from both counties to take in the games.

Derry U20 hurlers were beaten in last year's final by Kerry and are this season under the management of Kevin Kelly, Martin Birt and Ryan O'Neill, who have steered the county to back to back Celtic Challenge U17 titles.

Derry were awarded a walkover against Tyrone in the last round and face a Mourne side who were 4-21 to 0-14 quarter-final winners over Sligo.
