Hurling counties set to get five league games each

 

The GAA will tomorrow unveil its revised inter-county fixture programme for 2021, with Division 1 and 2 hurling counties expected to be afforded a minimum of five National League games, while there has also been speculation the All-Ireland football final will be played on August 22.

Division 1 and 2 hurling counties were asked last week if they wish to start the Allianz National Hurling League on the weekend of May 8/9, which would mean a three-week preparation period, one less than the four weeks Croke Park promised counties earlier this year.
