Kildare GAA has pushed its outstanding club competitions for 2020 back to next year.

The decision was taken following a meeting of the CCCC last night, with all competitions in the county now deferred to 2021.

With the county senior hurling championship final between Confey and Naas still outstanding, it is envisioned that the earliest date for that game to be played will be February 1, 2021.

"Due to the ongoing Government measures, the CCC are unable to plan fixtures that would complete Adult and Minor Competitions in Kildare for 2020,” the statement read.

“Based on the information available to us at the moment, no fixtures can take place until at least December 1, therefore, it would not be practical to resume or complete the competitions before Christmas.

"Following a meeting of the CCC last night, a decision was taken that all outstanding Adult Championship fixtures 2020, including Minor Football, Minor Hurling and Relegation/Promotion Play Offs, will now be deferred and completed in 2021.

"Subject to Covid restrictions, the CCC would hope to recommence these outstanding fixtures, at the earliest, the week beginning February 1st 2021. The CCC will give adequate notice of Draft fixtures to Clubs to allow for appropriate preparation and training.

"A Competition/Championship that had not commenced in 2020 will not be played i.e. the U21 Hurling and Football Championships 2020. 

"In terms of the 2021 fixture calendar, the CCC will be guided by the Master Fixture Plan from Croke Park in order to confirm the Club Fixture plan for 2021."
