Cork GAA’s juvenile wing, Rebel Óg, has postponed all games fixed for Thursday evening, April 9, due to the fuel crisis and consequent traffic chaos.

In a dispatch released on Thursday afternoon, Rebel Óg acknowledged the pressure parents and mentors are facing both in queuing for fuel and having to negotiate road closures.

Rebel Óg has not ruled out Friday’s games programme also being postponed.

“Due to the ongoing fuel shortage/crises where many garages are closed and more closures etc. expected around the country, Rebel Óg have taken the decision to postpone all juvenile games fixed for this evening, Thursday 9th April.

“We understand the pressures many parents, mentors, referees etc. may be under getting stuck in traffic or having to queue for fuel at a local garage.

“We will be observing the situation over the next 24 hours and will let clubs know by lunchtime tomorrow if we will proceed with our juvenile games tomorrow night.”
