The GAA has confirmed that no inter-county games will take place before October

The GAA has issued a statement this evening which effectively ends any hopes of Championship action this side of October.

All GAA clubs and counties have been instructed to 'refrain from organising on-field activity' until July 20. Dates and times will continue to be monitored but the statement adds that 'we can confirm however that no inter-county games are expected to take place before October.' It goes on to say: 'Counties are asked, in the interest of players, to suspend all inter-county training until further notice. There will be a phased resumption of training at both club and county level to allow players to prepare appropriately for playing games.' https://twitter.com/officialgaa/status/1258063794229719040 'While not categorically ruling out the possible staging of games behind closed doors later in the year, there appears to be a lack of appetite for this type of fixture-scheduling at the current time across the wider Association.'
