The three postponed games from Allianz FL Division 4 will now not be played.

All the matches, which were postponed due to the recent snow, have no impact on the promotion places with Laois and Carlow already through to the final.

Leitrim already had their game against London called off, which means the Connacht County played only five of their seven matches.

The GAA released the following statement: "In relation to the outstanding Allianz Football League fixtures in Division 4 (Waterford v Leitrim, Wicklow v Limerick and Laois v Antrim), the C.C.C.C asked all counties involved to consider whether they could reach agreement to play the games on the next available date as provided for in Allianz League Competition Regulations (in the case of the Waterford v Leitrim and Wicklow v Limerick games, the next available date was the Easter weekend; in the case of Laois and Antrim, April 7th/8th).

"However, due to scheduled club fixtures (in one or both counties) in each case, it was not possible to reach agreement for the playing of these games, and they have therefore been declared null and void.

"It is regrettable that the exceptional weather conditions of recent weeks have given rise to this situation and while it would have been preferable that the games could have been re-arranged before the conclusion of the league season, it was felt by the C.C.C.C that this should not happen at the expense of pre-scheduled club games in April."
