Postponements to delay Division 2 football final
The Division 2 final could now be played on the weekend of April 7/8.
The GAA's plans to keep the month of April free for club activity look to be in ruins after several Allianz League games were postponed today due to snow.
The decision not to re-fix the Down v Tipperary football game for tomorrow, Bank Holiday Monday, means it's likely that the final round of Division 2 games will be pushed back a week to Easter weekend, March 31 / April 1. The divisional final would then be played on the weekend of April 7 / 8.
While the majority of today's postponed games have been rescheduled for tomorrow, there is no guarantee they will be played, which would cause further headaches for the GAA fixture-makers at both inter-county and club level.
Tipp v Down will be refixed by the CCCC on Tuesday. This means its likely all Division 2 games will be pushed back a week meaning Tipp footballers will play final round Easter Wknd. Will have implications for Tipp club championship games scheduled for April #AllianzLeagues #GAA

The GAA shot themselves in the foot to try push all the matches into 9 weeks.I would extend the intercounty season never mind cut it.All over in August is a sham

The GAA really take players for granted. 'Game's off today, lads, play tomorrow instead.' Not as if anyone would have made plans for a Bank Holiday.
