This weekends big club games and the Allianz Football League game have been moved from Semple Stadium after a failed pitch inspection.
The stadium was due to host a double header of All-Ireland club SHC semi-finals on Saturday but it was judged the conditions of the pitch are not playable.
In a statement released by the GAA about the playing surface it read; the pitch is "frozen and the forecast is for the adverse weather to continue."
The game between Portaferry and Kilmallock has been moved to Cusack Park in Mullingar while Gort versus Ballyhale Shamrocks has been switched to O'Connor Park in Tullamore.
Both games now have a 2pm throw-in.
Along with this, the Allianz Football League game between Tipperary and Limerick, due to be played in Thurles on Sunday has also been moved to Templetuohy with a 2pm throw-in.
