Munster Council defers start of Minor Football Championship

The Electric Ireland Munster Minor Football Championship which was scheduled to commence on Wednesday April 8th has been deferred by two weeks due to the Covid-19 crisis

 

With all GAA activity suspended at present until March 29th, the Munster CCC (in consultation with all Munster Counties) have agreed that when the current restrictions are lifted, counties will be given ample time to prepare their teams.

 

Based on the information to hand at this moment, the earliest start date for the Electric Ireland Munster Minor Football Championship will be Wednesday April 22nd with proposed fixtures re-fixed as follows - https://munster.gaa.ie/fixtures/minor.

 

Tipperary's first match is now scheduled to be against Clare in Semple Stadium on Wednesday 22nd April with trips to Limerick and Waterford on the following subsequent Wednesday evenings.

               

If the ban on collective training and games is extended beyond March 29th, then Munster GAA take the appropriate action, based on the information to hand at that stage.

 

No decisions on the format / scheduling of the other 2020 Munster Championship fixtures (Senior Hurling, Senior Football, Under 20 Hurling and Minor Hurling grades) can be made at this time until the current restrictions are lifted.
