What time will gates open? 1pm?
I'd say with the weather the stand will fill up early. I got caught out in Dungarvan for the Carlow match.

Tis slowly filling up now already. Weather is shocking though. Wouldn't be surprised for it to be called off.

Rain is to get worse I think.

Lashing rain the last few hours, going to be a heavy pitch, probably not a day for small light forwards. I wouldn't be surprised to see a change or 2 before throw in

Today’s game is subject to a pitch inspection. Waiting on referee for inspection!

Looking at the Division 1 hurling final being put back a week to March 30/31 if games are called off today

Glad I held off a few mins leaving the house now

Poor form to only call it off an hour before throw in. Sickener for the travelling Galway supporters.

Just wondering if the game will be refixed at all given the tight schedule and the fact that both teams have already qualified?

yeah bad form but it did get heavier later on this morning. Annoying esp with people travelling down for the game and the stand almost full

few more games going to be called off too so will prob play Round 5 next weekend (9th/10th Mar) and then QFs the 16th March (no games on the paddys day i imagine cause of the club finals, hardly play some games on the 18th March ??), semis on 23/24th March with final being the weekend after 30/31st March

Still have the time but its irratating

On Friday and Saturday it was clear that there was heavy rain coming in. An inspection could have been done at 11 rather than 1pm.

The game could also have been played in Carriganore.

Rte reporting that Walsh park passed an early morning pitch inspection.

It does seem that the decision should have been made earlier given the forecast for heavy rain. Not sure how they will deal with the refixing of the game given that a crowd was in the stand already- will it be free in the next day?

They probably did one around 8 or 9 to see if Galway should travel, at which point the pitch would have probably been playable.

1pm is very disappointing, and the GAA seem to constantly lack common sense when it comes to calling games off last minute.

They had a lady announcing over the speakers that you'd get a ticket for the next day at the gate but then the lad at the gate didn't have tickets and was telling people they'd get in with the tickets used today after they had the stubs torn off. So I'm guessing if you threw it away after going in then you're ****ed.

TippVCork and WexfordVKilkenny also cancelled within an hour of throw in. The rain hardly "just came in" and flooded three pitches at the same time. Surely one of them could have been cancelled at 9am which shows the GAA failed today.

Deisegodeo

Galltir beaten by a point in the camogie final, hard luck after huge effort.

Should have been a lot more than 3 minutes injury time in second half too. Missed goal chances proved costly in the end.

deise08

Pity for all the Galway supporters and players that travelled so far. A long way to come just to get a look at the pitch.

Pity for us, for our first home game in so long to be a non game.

PTH2009

ah balls Dublin 0-13- Laois 0-11

Laois were winning up too a few mins near the end but failed too hold out meaning we cant go top of the table now no matter the result against Galway Whenever its played

for 2020 we will be in Group A of the Div 1 with the following teams

1 Limerick
2 4th 1A
3 Winner of 1A pointless Relagation playoff
4 Galway or Dublin
5 Westmeath or Kerry (2A Final 2019)

Reckon Galway game will be next Sat with the QFs the following week

I got into walsh park earlier with season ticket and was scanned in should i have got scanned out when it was called off some people on Galway forum are saying you should have. Will this show up as being attended or will it just come up when they replay each other next weekend?

Scanning once proves attendance. Why would you need to scan again? The first time was still recorded and scanning again doesn’t prove you attended the next day.

Anyone get the subs list today?

The gaa Decided to coin toss to determine the winners of the games which were due to be played yesterday. Waterford, Wexford and Cork lost so we’re playing away to KK next Sunday.

I heard a coin toss was to be done but can't find confirmation anywhere. Do you have a link or source?

It’s on the Facebook Deise banter page, should have been a bit cleverer cause whoever’s running it has just admitted that he was joking 😂

Still no confirmation about what’s happening next week.

Right. Probably explains it so.

Although I'd say Galway would probably take a coin toss after yesterday !

Hopefully gaa confirm what is happening soon anyway
