That's a bit early in the morning for Skype-ing. Assuming that's how they'll decide.

The final will hardly be Wednesday night? 3 days before the league, and all?

On BBC Sport NI:
There will be pitch inspections at both Ballybofey and the Athletic Grounds on Saturday morning as attempts are made to ensure that the DrMcKenna Cup semi-final goes ahead later in the day.
Donegal's game with Armagh is scheduled for MacCumhaill Park (18:00 GMT) but will be moved to Armagh if necessary.
If both venues are unplayable then the Ulster Council will put back the game to Sunday in Ballybofey (14:00)
The game was supposed to be played on Wednesday but fell victim to snow.
Saturday morning's pitch inspections will take place in Ballybofey & Armagh at 9:30 GMT.
Fingers crossed it can be played in Armagh tomorrow but think it's highly unlikely.

Is there a big RHI heated chicken shed warehouse nearby that could host this? Just in case, like...
Whatever about the actual game going ahead surely this farce should bring to a head the ridiculous situation that we are in. We are expecting amateur sports men to play a meaningless pre season tournament in the middle of winter and can’t even fulfill the fixtures properly!!! The GAA as a whole needs to take a hard look at itself. It’s lost the whole ideals upon which it really stands for.
