Limerick GAA officials alter club championship schedule as hurlers reach Croke Park

THERE are changes to the Limerick club football championship matches next weekend after the senior hurlers advanced to the All Ireland SHC semi final.

There were a total of 20 games down for decision between this Thursday and Sunday across the SFC, IFC and JAFC but four games involving dual players that are members of John Kiely’s have been changed with Na Piarsaigh, Oola, St Patricks and Castlemahon among the clubs with senior hurlers involved.

Limerick’s July 29 All Ireland SHC semi final has also resulted in a restructured club fixture programme.

The following weekend, July 26-29 comes the changes. This weekend was scheduled for club hurling championship with round three games across the top three tiers.

These games have now been moved back one week to August 2-5.

The weekend of July 26-29 will now be another football weekend with the SFC and IFC round four fixtures, originally set for August.

So back-to-back weekends of club football championship over the next two weekends.

Pending the progress of John Kiey’s senior hurlers, there could also be back-to-back weekends of club hurling action with round four games in the Master Fixture list for August 9-12.
