At the moment the Division 1 Group B tie between Carlow and Dublin is going ahead at 5pm after passing an early pitch inspection but another will take place at Netwatch Cullen Park when the referee arrives.
Tomorrow’s Division 2A clash featuring Offaly and Antrim has been called off.
To be fair to @AontroimGAA we were anxious to make an early call as the team were travelling today. Following a pitch inspection at 12 noon by a neutral ref & taking weather forecast & warnings in to account the match was called off. Thanks to Croke Park for your co-operation. https://t.co/oqxIhe27Yb

Dr Harty Cup
Earlier this morning the Dr Harty Cup final between CBC Cork and St Flannan’s College, Ennis was called off due to an orange weather alert.
The decider was scheduled to take place in Mallow today at 12pm after the original 1pm throw-in time was brought forward on Friday morning.
A pitch inspection was carried out earlier today at 8.30am and the green light was given to proceed with the final.
But a late decision was taken to postpone the game with a re-fixture planned for Saturday 29 February at 1pm in Mallow.
