Expectation had grown that a review this afternoon would pave the way for the earlier return for sport in the Six Counties. What it could determine though is the start date in the rest of the country if the government relaxes rules around outdoor activity from April 5, as is the anticipation. If outdoor training is permitted in the south, the GAA is now likely to align the dates on either side of the border so that April 12 becomes the start date for all. It's not clear when the NI Executive would permit competitive games to follow, making a return date for the league still difficult to determine. Tyrone GAA chairman Mickey Kerr this week gave support to the GAA taking a unified approach to return.
