Leinster chiefs face club final conundrum

THE Leinster Council has not ruled out the possibility of postponing its provincial club football final in the event of Kildare’s Moorefield or Longford’s Dromard reaching the final.

The two clubs will meet for the third time in three weekends in Newbridge on Sunday after two games and two periods of extra-time failed to separate them.

Should the winners of that tie go on to beat Westmeath’s Tyrrellspass in the last four, they would be facing into a fifth game in five straight weeks come the decider. That would be a difficult burden, especially for a club team at such a late juncture in the year but the Leinster Council have little room to manoeuvre given the approach of the Christmas holidays.
