Leinster GAA has confirmed just one venue for their senior inter-county championships because of Covid-19 restrictions in the province.

The senior football final on Saturday, November 21 to coincide with the GAA’s commemoration of Bloody Sunday will be played in Croke Park. That had been agreed during the summer in conjunction with the Central Competitions Control Committee.
