There won’t be a single underage GAA fixture played in Cork this weekend as the county’s juvenile body, Rebel Óg, has postponed all games fixed for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday due to the ongoing fuel crisis.

Off the back of their decision on Thursday to postpone all juvenile games for that evening because of the fuel shortage and consequent traffic chaos, the latest Rebel Óg dispatch has confirmed the postponement of all hurling and football games scheduled for the next three days.

“We will be observing the situation over the weekend and we will let clubs know by lunchtime, Monday 13, where Rebel Óg stands at that time.” 

Elsewhere, additional stand and terrace tickets for Cork’s Munster SHC opener away to Tipperary on Sunday week will be made available to Cork clubs for purchase at 10am on Saturday morning.

An email from the Cork county board office on Friday lunchtime stated that “following the return of a limited number of tickets, the GAA ticket office will be supplying us with an allocation of additional and stand terrace tickets” for the Cork-Tipp game.

Cork clubs were initially allocated 24 stand and 44 terrace for premier senior and senior A establishments, 20 stand and 40 terrace for premier intermediate, intermediate A and premier junior, 16 stand and 36 terrace for junior A and 14 stand and 32 terrace for junior B and junior C.
