Slaughtneil have lodged an appeal following the result of Sunday’s Derry SFC semi-final defeat to Newbridge at Owenbeg.
The appeal is due to be heard on Tuesday night, with the Derry SFC final scheduled for Sunday 19 October.
Holders Newbridge are set to take on Magherafelt, who accounted for Glen in Saturday’s first semi-final.
Slaughtneil forward Shane McGuigan landed a score in injury-time to put his side one point ahead, one point was awarded for the kick, with debate subsequently raging around whether or not the shot was taken from outside of the 40 metre arc, which would have allowed two points to be awarded.
From the next play, Newbridge won a free, which was brought forward by the match referee, with Conor Doherty slotting over from two point range to give the champions a one-point lead.
Padraig McGrogan added a late score, as Newbridge ultimately ran out 0-21 to 1-16 winners.
The Derry champions are due to the host newly crowned Antrim champions Dunloy, in the preliminary round of the Ulster Club Championship on the weekend of 1-2 November.
