Local gardaí have urged motorists to park responsibly in Ballybofey today - or risk being towed.

Donegal take on Derry in the preliminary round of the Ulster SFC at Sean MacCumhaill Park, with a sell-out, ticket-only crowd expected. The match gets underway at 2pm.

"Please expect traffic delays both before and after the match," An Garda Siochana posted. "While we endeavour to assist traffic movement as much as possible, the large numbers attending will result in unavoidable delays. Adding additional time to your journey is advisable.

"Parking will be available in several car parks around the town. Please utilise these areas fully. We ask all persons attending the game to please park responsibly. Do not park in a manner that causes obstruction to footpaths, private entrances or that obstructs the free flow of traffic. Any vehicles found to be causing an obstruction will be subject to fixed charge notices as necessary and may be towed. This is to ensure a free flow of traffic for everyone pre and post-match.

"This is a ticket-only event. Only match ticket holders will be permitted entry to the ground. Also, please note that no alcohol is permitted inside the ground; any alcohol found inside the ground will be subject to confiscation.

"Only vehicles authorised by Donegal GAA will be permitted access to car park at MacCumhaill Park main entrance. Limited parking for Blue Badge holders is available at the car park at the stand entrance (behind Villa Rose Hotel). Vehicle access to this car park is via Back Road at Jackson’s Hotel. Once this area is full there will be no vehicle access to this area. There is limited disabled parking availability on the Main Street and in car parks in the vicinity of the grounds."
