Club Championship Update 09/06/20

At tonight’s meeting of the County Executive, consideration was given to County Championship formats for 2020.
The preference remains for a group stage championship in line with the format approved by clubs last year, subject to the window available.
With inter-county games games resuming on the weekend of October 17th / 18th, we await the programme of inter-county activity from the GAA’s CCCC later this month to allow us to maximise the period of club activity from July onwards.
Therefore, there will be no final decision on formats until that point.
Meanwhile, a subgroup is examining the opportunities for the streaming of games to allow the greatest possible audience for the club programme and to facilitate those who are unable to attend.
In the meantime, we thank all teams and club members for continuing to comply with government and GAA regulations.
