The FAI have rowed back on a decision to prevent grassroots leagues from completing unfinished 2020-21 competitions when matches are allowed to recommence on June 7.

As flagged by the Irish Examiner on Wednesday, the governing body has instead informed affiliate leagues that they will have six weeks — between June 7 and July 18 inclusive — to complete competitions if they wish to do so.
