The two hurling quarter-finals will likely take place next weekend with details to be announced by the GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee on Tuesday. Instead the Siberian winds have wrought havoc with the schedules and that continued over the weekend of the national holiday with all four hurling quarter-finals called off on Sunday and fixed optimistically for Monday. The knock-on effect will see the league hurling final moved back to the second Sunday in April. This represents a two-week slippage in the fixtures, as the final was originally scheduled for March 25th and will focus attention on the decision of Central Council to retain the hurling league quarter-finals despite recommendations from the Hurling Development Committee that they be dropped to ease pressure on the games calendar.
