Beast from the East sees Dublin fixtures cancelled

Conan Doherty

Club games all over Dublin across every age group are cancelled this weekend.

The Dublin county board moved on Wednesday to postpone every single fixture across all adult and juvenile competitions after heavy snow fall and thick lie on the east coast.

As it stands, the Dublin v Kerry match scheduled for Croke Park on Saturday night is still going ahead but club players in the capital will have the weekend free.

“Due to the deteriorating weather conditions, all GAA club fixtures in Dublin (Adult, Minor & Juvenile) have been cancelled this weekend (Saturday 3rd March – Sunday 4th March),” Dublin GAA said in a statement.

Initially, they had announced that there would be no underage games taking place before making the decision to enforce a blanket cancellation.

“Based on current and forecasted weather conditions and on health & safety grounds All Juvenile fixtures scheduled by both CCC1 & CCC2 are off this weekend Saturday March 3rd & Sunday March 4th,” the initial report read.

“Both CCCs will issue rescheduled dates for all competitive U12 to U16 competitions on Friday.”

Still though, there is hope for the clash of last year’s league finalists. Kerry are due to take on the All-Ireland champions on Saturday evening on Jones’ Road and, to date, it has not been postponed. In fact, tickets are still being sold for the game at Croker but some ticket offices are not open due to the weather.
