Walsh: ‘fixture schedule may need to be altered’

MUNSTER Council chairman Seán Walsh believes GAA chiefs may be forced to restructure their fixture schedules to ensure earlier finishes to provincial club championships.

The entire weekend programme in Leinster and Ulster was postponed due to the icy weather conditions with officials hopeful of playing the matches next weekend.

Though all the ties in Munster were played yesterday, Walsh admits that the colder winters Ireland experienced in recent years may force the GAA to try and conclude competitions earlier each season.
