THE ALL-IRELAND U20 football final between Dublin and Galway has been rescheduled for Saturday 19, December in Croke Park.

It will be broadcast live on TG4 and will take place at 2.30pm, prior to the All-Ireland senior football final which throws-in at 5pm.

Dublin and Galway were due to meet in the final back in October but it was shelved after the country entered Level 5 restrictions.

Meanwhile, the Connacht Council have confirmed fixture plans for the provincial minor football championship which begins in 10 days.
