COVID-19 concerns cause postponement of Longford football semis


This weekend's Longford Senior Football semi-finals have been postponed due to "two active" COVID-19 cases in a club in the Midlands county.

Defending champions Emmet Og Killoe had been due to play Mostrim tomorrow with Longford Slashers up against former Leinster Club winners Mullinalaghta.

"You may be aware that two positive COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in our county over the past couple of days," Longford GAA announced in a statement on Friday night.

"These two positives are active members of a GAA club, however the source is not GAA related. Public Health Authorities are liaising with the club and players in question and the work involved in contact tracing has commenced.

"Having spoken with the Public Health Authorities and the club in question over the course of this evening have, given the advice received together with our concerns over the health of all of our members, made the decision to postpone the following games which were down for decision over the coming days."

Today's Intermediate decider between Ardagh Moydow and St Brigid's Killashee has also been postponed as well as the Division One Football League match between Colmcille and Granard.
