The GAA is aiming to confirm its revised 2021 master fixtures calendar by the end of next week after being given the go-ahead for senior inter-county training to resume from April 19.

In a letter to county and club secretaries last night, GAA president Larry McCarthy and director general Tom Ryan did not confirm Taoiseach Micheál Martin’s earlier remarks that training was aimed towards the National Leagues taking place in May.
