GAA forced to bend on April as club-only month

The GAA have been forced to upset their designation of April as a club-only month by staging the Allianz Football League Division 4 final on April 6 or 7.

The April 1 Division 1 and 2 football finals were supposed to be the only competitive inter-county games in the month, while the Division 3 and 4 deciders were to take place on March 31.

However, the recent poor weather, which saw the GAA postpone all 33 of last weekend’s league fixtures across the two codes, has given rise to a number of issues such as Laois having already booked their flights to face London in Ruislip this weekend so as to avoid a clash with the St Patrick’s Day weekend rush.
