LGFA statement re Lidl All-Ireland Post Primary Schools Junior C final

THE Ladies Gaelic Football Association wishes to announce that Sunday’s (April 15) scheduled Lidl Post Primary Schools All-Ireland Junior C final between St Mary’s High School, Midleton (Cork), and St Clare’s Comprehensive, Manorhamilton (Leitrim), will not go ahead as planned at Duggan Park, Ballinasloe, county Galway.

St Mary’s informed the LGFA via email on Friday evening (April 13), at 4.59pm, that they were not in a position to fulfil the fixture.

Alternative dates had been suggested in recent weeks for this fixture but as agreement could not be reached between the competing schools, the LGFA informed both schools last Friday, April 6, that the fixture would remain on its original date, April 15.

The LGFA was left with no choice but to accept the decision from St Mary’s not to play the game, and St Clare’s Comprehensive, Manorhamilton, have been informed.
