WITH HEAVY RAIN forecast for Munster, tonight’s Under 20 Hurling Championship clash between Waterford and Limerick, scheduled to take place in Dungarvan, has been postponed.
The game will now be set for Saturday next, 25 March, with a 1.30pm throw-in.
With just over two weeks remaining to the start of the All-Ireland football championship, the fact games are being called off due to inclement weather must raise some concerns for the earliest championships ever.
The Munster Council are advising those who have already bought tickets to go to tonight’s fixture, that their tickets will be valid for the rescheduled fixture.
Those who have a ticket for the game, and are unable to attend on Saturday, can request a refund by contacting info.munster@gaa.ie

Shocking to think that they actually played a Munster minor game in dungarvan last night,the gaa have no interest in players welfare, it’s a case of play the game at all costs
It was shocking. Guys out with brushes were sweeping water off areas of the pitch. It’s so unfair on players and coaches to be judged on that. It pounded down with rain from 1pm yesterday and it was blatantly obvious the surface would be dreadful. Shame on the fixtures committee or whoever wouldn’t defer the match.
It is outrageous that last night’s game was allowed to go ahead. The weather isn’t too bad now but I’d say the pitch is in bits so can’t blame them for calling it off.
