The hurlers of Limerick and Waterford will face off tomorrow in a provisional fixture after tonight’s Division 1 Group A game was postponed at LIT Gaelic Grounds.

A pitch inspection will take place in the morning with the game planned to throw-in at 2pm.

At the moment the Division 1 Group B tie between Carlow and Dublin is going ahead at 5pm after passing an early pitch inspection but another will take place at Netwatch Cullen Park when the referee arrives.

Tomorrow’s Division 2A clash featuring Offaly and Antrim has been called off.

Dr Harty Cup

Earlier this morning the Dr Harty Cup final between CBC Cork and St Flannan’s College, Ennis was called off due to an orange weather alert.

The decider was scheduled to take place in Mallow today at 12pm after the original 1pm throw-in time was brought forward on Friday morning.
