THE WEATHER HAS caused havoc with today’s GAA schedule as four AIB All-Ireland club semi-final ties have been postponed with the O’Byrne Cup decider between Meath and Westmeath also called off.
Pitch inspections had been organised this morning due to the forecast for heavy rains in the Midlands. O’Moore Park in Portlaoise – which was set to hold a double-header – Páirc Tailteann in Navan, St Conleth’s Park in Newbridge and Bord Na Móna O’Connor Park in Tullamore were all deemed unplayable.
Today’s O’Byrne Cup final between Meath and Westmeath postponed due to unplayable pitch in Portlaoise as is All-Ireland IFC semi-final between @AnGhaeltacht and @AnMhaigh
Refixture details will be announced tomorrow but the postponements will cause a headache for GAA officials ahead of the finals in the club championships on the weekend of 3-4 February in Croke Park.

Four semi-final ties did take place yesterday in the club championship with Cork’s Knocknagree and Westmeath’s Multyfarnham setting up an All-Ireland junior football final meeting. St Patrick’s Ballyragget from Kilkenny qualified for the intermediate hurling decider and Wexford club St Mogue’s Fethard reached the junior hurling final.
Several camogie league fixtures have also been called off including the meeting of reigning All-Ireland champions Cork against Wexford.
Due to the poor weather several of today's fixtures in @LittlewoodsIRL Camogie Leagues have now been postponed. Only Dublin Kilkenny is still due to take place @ 2pm in Parnells GAA, Coolock.
