The delayed Irish Premiership promotion/relegation play-off between Dungannon Swifts and Annagh United will go ahead next week.
The news comes after Warrenpoint Town announced they would not be pursuing arbitration following their unsuccessful appeal against not being granted a Championship licence.
The Northern Ireland Football League confirmed on Tuesday night that the play-offs would now be played next week.

The first leg will take place at the BMG Arena on Tuesday, 30 May before the return game at Stangmore Park two days later.
It brings to an end the row which has rumbled on since last month after the Championship runners-up were denied a licence due to an unpaid tax bill.
It had been feared that the club would have to drop out of the NI Football League and into regional football, however in a statement released by the Milltown club on Tuesday evening it said they would "continue the dialogue with our football family in NIFL and our governing association partners at the Irish FA".
“Warrenpoint Town Football Club have continued to engage with our legal team over the last four days. In parallel with that, we have held meetings with the Northern Ireland Football League and the Irish Football Association," said the statement.
“The licence argument could continue for another four to six weeks by taking it to arbitration and beyond as per the Articles of Association within the IFA. However, while considering the wider impact on club football in general across our league and the transfer window, our club’s future, and our South Down community, we have agreed to not pursue arbitration.
“The cost for all parties to pursue that pathway is best spent on football teams rather than legal teams. Over the next few days, we will continue the dialogue with our football family in NIFL and our Governing Association partners at the IFA.
“We remain confident that through this approach, the bright future of Warrenpoint Town Football Club can be agreed. We aim to continue to build Association Football in the south Down area, providing a community-based club and a pathway for young people.”
The club could now be offered a place in the Premier Intermediate League with reports suggesting that the PSNI, who finished bottom of the third tier, may also keep their place with one regional champion gaining promotion to an expanded PIL.
PIL runners-up Ballymacash will now take on Knockbreada in promotion/relegation play-off for the final Championship spot.
