If Tyrone and Cavan are not playing until the 3rd, does this mean the games will be on the 9th of July?

Pretty sure the other 3 games will go ahead as planned on July 2

[AZOffaly]

Just wondering when the hurling qualifiers are? Presume they are the same weekend? Surely the GAA wouldn't pass up Clare v Laois in hurling and football as a double header in Ennis?

Podge Collins?

Podge might have to choose. That would have happened Offaly frequently in the past with Sean Ryan. Most times they were in two different locations entirely.

So Meath and Cavan/Tyrone get the six day turnaround treatment.

It's a pity and I would have sympathy for him, the footballers would need him more so hopefully Davy understands.

Of course if Ulster did as normal Provinces do - replay the following Saturday- Cavan/ Tyrone would have got 7/8 days and all 2A games would be played the same weekend.
Better get Jarlath to explain .......

Or maybe if they played the four quarters over a weekend and same for two semis then the championship could be run of over a few weeks and give clubs more time with there players.

It would be the sensible thing to do so it probably won't happen.

Indeed.
All the Provincial Championships could be condensed.
The 6 game Connacht one goes from 1 May to 10 July - 11 weeks!!

[Farrandeelin]

Interesting that all the provincial semi final losers get home advantage in roubd 2A. I presume it will be the same for 2B.

Not true, not by design anyway.
I understand Derry are at home to Dublin/Meath
And CCCC can move also, so if Meath do win, Dublin v Derry could be played in Clones
