Leeway in the Ladies football and camogie calendars mean the dual operators of Gaultier will not have to play two Munster club finals in the space of 24 hours this weekend.

The Gaultier ladies footballers drew with Aghada in Sunday’s Munster senior Club final, but because of worsening fog at the Mallow venue, referee John Purcell and the present Munster LGFA officials were forced to override the winner-on-the-day protocol outlined in the match programme and inform both sides that there would be no extra-time.
