Brennan admits fears of fixture pile-up

GAA president Nickey Brennan admitted yesterday that the weekend postponements in the National Hurling League, and resultant fixtures headache, is a matter of concern to Association chiefs.

Only six of the scheduled 17 NHL matches were played over the weekend because of the frost, ice and snow.

Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) chairman Jimmy Dunne had said only last week that “any major disruption in our programme could have serious repercussions”.
