U20 All Ireland football championship 2020

[Maroon Manc]

I can understand why penalties are required after a replay but for a championship game on the 8th of February is just ridiculous.

Galways brilliant run at underage continues over Mayo, Galway must have only lost 1 of the last 11 or 12 games at underage level to Mayo and even then that win was in extra time and Galway went on to reach the minor final.

The Leitrim v Galway game moved from Carrick to Mohill. With storm Dennis arriving tomorrow I would expect a few games will be called off.

A lot of games will probably be impacted by the rain today.

Would it not be plausible for pitch covers to be used in circumstances like this when heavy rain is forecast, the type of covers you see them roll out at Wimbledon to keep the courts dry.

Obviously I know the sheer scale of a football pitch in comparison to a tennis court is huge and the cost and practicalities could be an issue.

But surely in circumstances like this, in a squeezed calendar, there should be ways and means to thwart heavy spells of rain when it is well forecasted in advance?

They should just had a penalty shoot out to decide all games

Or Counties could have proper pitches in their County grounds, like us and Sligo e.g.
