League of Ireland fixtures and GAA matches fall victim to weather

Sligo v Bohemians and Longford Town v Cobh Ramblers are among the games to be postponed.

BAD WEATHER has caused a number of postponements across the Irish sporting calendar this weekend.

The All-Ireland senior camogie club semi-final between Sarsfields of Galway and Derry’s Slaughtneil, which was scheduled to take place this afternoon, has been refixed. The final-four clash will now take place tomorrow in the Gorey GAA club at 2pm.

Two League of Ireland matches, Sligo v Bohemians and Longford Town v Cobh Ramblers, as well as today’s Lidl NFL Division 2A game between Clare and Kerry and the Lidl NFL Division 3A fixture between Sligo and Down are the latest fixtures to fall victim to the weather.

In addition, the Football League men’s Division Three match, Fermanagh v Laois, is postponed due to an unplayable pitch, while the Division Four game, Leitrim v London, on Sunday, has moved to Connacht Centre of Excellence 3G pitch with a 1pm throw-in. 

The FAI said the game at Bishopsgate has been “deemed unplayable” due to a frozen pitch after a 9.30am pitch inspection.

The Sligo-Down and Clare-Kerry fixtures will now both take place on 27 February, with further details to be confirmed.

There are no details as to the rescheduled dates for the League of Ireland fixtures in question.
