There had been calls for the matches to be postponed in order to prevent the Tipperary senior squad incurring injury problems ahead of the September 5 showdown. It is understood that county board officials met with Tipperary senior boss Liam Sheedy yesterday to discuss the situation before last night’s CCCC meeting.

The decision was then taken last night to postpone Sunday’s senior hurling finals in the North division between Borrisoleigh and Toomevara and in the Mid division between Thurles Sarsfields and Drom-Inch. The four quarter-finals in the Seamus O Riain Cup involving Loughmore-Castleiney against Cashel King Cormacs, Templederry Kenyons against Portroe, Roscrea against Kilruane McDonaghs, and Éire Óg Nenagh against Lorrha/Dorrha have also been deferred.
