Saturday Night Gaelic Athletic Association Games Ruled Out Due To Lack Of Lighting

A "lack of proper floodlighting at high-profile" Gaelic Athletic Association grounds is the reason why no National Football League games of "major significance" are taking place Saturday night, according to Malachy Clerkin of the IRISH TIMES. The last round of football league games "will all throw in at 2pm on Sunday," followed by the four league hurling quarterfinals and the Division 1A relegation playoff at 4pm. It had been thought that "at least one of the hurling matches could be moved to Saturday night given the success of recent matches in that slot." However, the lack of floodlights in Cusack Park, Ennis, and Nowlan Park, Kilkenny, ruled both Clare vs. Dublin and Kilkenny vs. Wexford "out of the equation." Throughout the '17 league, the Saturday night 7pm slot has been a "major success" for Eir Sport. The news is a "blow for TG4," which will make a decision "later in the week" as to which games it will show on Sunday (IRISH TIMES, 3/27).
