    Six Irish Premiership matches were scheduled for Saturday

    Storm Darragh has wiped out Saturday's entire scheduled Irish Premiership programme, with all six scheduled games called off because of the adverse weather.

    The match between Coleraine and Portadown, which was to start at 17:00 GMT, was the last of the games to fall victim of the high winds.

    It was called off about one hour and 10 minutes before kick-off.

    The game between Dungannon Swifts and leaders Linfield was called off just over an hour before the scheduled 15:00 GMT kick-off and came after Cliftonville's home game against Carrick Rangers was postponed.

    The fixtures between Glentoran and Ballymena United at the Oval, Glenavon and Crusaders at Mourneview Park and Loughgall and Larne at Lakeview Park were called off on Saturday morning.

    The match between the Glens and the Sky Blues was postponed following a pitch inspection at 10:30 GMT, with the games between the Lurgan Blues and the Crues and the Villagers and the Invermen following later.

    Ulster Intermediate final off

    It was revealed on Friday that Saturday's Ulster Club Intermediate Football Championship final between Arva and Ballinderry at Healy Park had been postponed.

    Cavan's Arva and Derry side Ballinderry were due to face each other in Omagh at 17:00 GMT.

    However, in a short statement on Friday evening, Ulster GAA said the match has been postponed "due to the amber weather warning".

    The game has been refixed for Saturday, 14 December at the same venue with a 17:00 GMT throw-in.

    An amber warning for wind has been issued for Northern Ireland from 01:00 GMT on Saturday until 21:00 on Saturday.
