Electric Ireland Ulster Minor Football Championship postponed until further notice

This weekend’s Electric Ireland Ulster Minor Football Championship Semi Finals will not go ahead due to the latest Covid-19 restrictions.

This Sunday, Derry were due to take on Tyrone in Clones, while Fermanagh were to play Monaghan at Kingspan Breffni in the other tie.

However under the new level 5 restrictions, Inter County Minor games are no longer permitted, effective from December 27th onwards.

Ulster GAA intends to complete this competition at the first available opportunity.

The GAA has issued advice to clubs and counties for activities that are permissible and not permissible in 2021 until further notice.

Under Level 5 of the plan for living with Covid-19 and the current restrictions in the North, individual training only is permitted for GAA clubs.

Neither adult or underage teams may train collectively, club games are not permitted, and GAA club grounds must remain closed.

At inter-county level, it remains the case that collective training for senior inter-county panels may only recommence from January 15th. However, given the current growth rates in virus transmission, this date is under review.

For the moment senior inter-county players may train on an individual basis only in club or county owned gyms and no training is currently permitted for any other panels such as U-20 or Minor.
