THE GAA HAVE opted to re-schedule for next Sunday the games postponed this weekend due to unplayable pitches and that has the knock-on effect of seeing the O’Byrne Cup final deferred to March.

The decider of the Leinster pre-season competition between Meath and Westmeath was to be held next Sunday after being postponed due to a waterlogged pitch on 21 January.
But it has now been deferred until Sunday 11 March, the next free weekend in the football league calendar, in Mullingar as Meath’s Division 2 clash with Cavan, which was postponed twice over the weekend, has been pencilled in for next Sunday afternoon.
The Division 1 meeting of Monaghan and Kerry along with the Division 3 clashes of Derry against Offaly and Sligo against Fermanagh have all been pencilled in for next Sunday afternoon.
The fixture changes make for a hectic schedule ahead for Meath with Andy McEntee’s facing six games in six weeks – Cavan on 18 February, Tipperary on 24 February, Cork on 4 March, Westmeath on 11 March, Louth on 18 March and Down on 25 March.
