The EirGrid Ulster Under-21 final has been fixed for Monday evening at the Athletic Grounds in Armagh.
The Donegal-Derry clash will be held in the Armagh venue at 8pm.
Donegal last night scored an impressive 3-17 to 0-13 win over Cavan at Brewster Park, while Derry defeated Armagh after extra-time in a cracking contest at Celtic Park.
A source close to the Donegal camp said that Donegal had offered a coin toss to stage the final, but it is understood that Derry turned it down.
Donegal are believed to have submitted a written request for a coin toss to take place, but the two counties have to have to agree before the Ulster Council would sanction the toss.
The decision to take the final to Armagh has left many Donegal supporters enraged with fans in west Donegal, for example, facing a two-and-a-half-hour trek on a Monday evening to a venue known for its heavy traffic.

@chrismcnulty86 At least 2 n a half surely co board will object, Omagh or even a toss a better option

@chrismcnulty86 Exactly a two hour commute from Ballybofey. Drove it for months. Leave early is all I'll say. Nightmare of a town to get into with traffic!

Tags:@chrismcnulty86 @JoeBrolly1993 Afraid of a coin toss?! How @Doiregaa has fallen. @officialdonegal should shame them and offer to play at Celtic Park anyway. #awaydays
