Senior involvement and exams push back U20 football final

The 60-hour policy states a player is not permitted to line out in both a senior and U20 football championship game within that timeframe.

The involvement of Louth and Tyrone U20 players in their senior panels and end-of-year college exams have pushed the Dalata Hotels U20 All-Ireland football final between the counties out to Wednesday, May 28 where it will be played in Armagh city’s Box-It Athletic Grounds (7.30pm throw-in).

The GAA’s master fixtures had the decider pencilled in for this past weekend or tomorrow, May 21 but Louth’s All-Ireland semi-final win over Mayo only took place last Friday, while exams are taking place this week.
