The GAA’s county chairpersons and Management Committee will convene virtually this evening as speculation mounts that the 2020 Allianz League games scheduled for later this month could be postponed indefinitely. There had been consideration given earlier this week to postponing the minor football and hurling championships, the U20 hurling championship and the remaining U20 football semi-finals and final. Earlier this week, Electric Ireland, sponsors of the minor championships, called off a press event relating to the competitions. Another option open to the GAA may be to make the senior hurling championship knock-out similar to football thereby reducing the number of games from 17 to 11. Unlike last Monday’s Management Committee meeting which was called at short notice to suspend all club fixtures, these meetings had been scheduled.
