Leinster GAC delays naming fixtures

Leinster GAC chiefs have delayed naming the fixtures for the 2003 Leinster SHC preliminary groupings.

The ties were expected to be announced following a meeting of the GAC in Portlaoise last night but it is now expected they'll take another week to sort out.

The rest of the provincial draws were made on Monday night with All-Ireland champions Kilkenny due to face the winners from the preliminary series.
