Finn Harps injury woes deepen as USL fixture is called off

Finn Harps’ injury crisis has extended as far as the club’s underage set-up – resulting in the cancellation of an Ulster Senior League game tomorrow.

Finn Harps Reserves had been due to meet Bonagee United at Dry Arch Park tomorrow in the USL, but Harps this afternoon informed USL officials that they were unable to field a team.

While Ollie Horgan’s senior squad is carrying a high volume of injuries, underage bosses Joe Boyle and Declan Boyle are also nursing a lot of knocks following their games against Sligo Rovers this weekend.

However, Harps have confirmed that they will be fulfilling Tuesday’s game against Letterkenny Rovers.

An Ulster Senior League statement read:

“Tomorrow’s 4 Lanterns Ulster Senior League game between Bonagee United and Finn Harps Reserves has been called off.

“Finn Harps Reserves have informed the Ulster Senior League that they are unable to field in the game due to the high volume of injuries within their panel at present.

“Finn Harps Reserves have assured the Ulster Senior League that they will be fulfilling Tuesday night’s match against Letterkenny Rovers.

“Bonagee United will be awarded a 3-0 win for tomorrow’s game.”
