New date for Mayo's All-Ireland SFC final against Kerry or Tyrone
The All-Ireland SFC final between Mayo and Kerry or Tyrone has a new date . . .Saturday, September 11, a week later than planned.
That's because the semi-final involving Kerry and Tyrone is put back to Saturday, August 28.
It follows the decision of the GAA to give the Ulster champions more time to recover from a Covid outbreak in their squad.
The GAA said the revised schedule has been finalised with the integrity of the championship in mind and to ensure that Kerry were not denied a semi-final outing.
"The GAA would like to acknowledge the co-operation of all of the counties still involved in the championship and it looks forward to working with the government to finalise these arrangements," a statement read.
Times for both fixtures will be confirmed soon.
