Brighter outlook on the horizon
The GAA in particular will be praying for a rise in temperatures as all four provinces race to complete their pre-season competitions before the commencement of the National League next month. Munster Council GAA chiefs re-fixed yesterday’s McGrath Cup games to Thursday night but have contingency plans in place if the games don’t go ahead.
PRO Jim Forbes revealed: “If the games can’t be played on Thursday night we will play them on Saturday at 2pm with the winners going out in the quarter-finals, 24 hours later. It is not the ideal scenario but it is the only option available to us. We also plan to play the first round of our Waterford Crystal hurling competition Sunday.
