Hurling Quarter final postponed?

[Uladh]

Journo friend telling me hears this weekends games re to be postponed as a mark of respect following the untimely death of Vanessa McGarry. Can anyone confirm this as i can't find confirmaton anywhere?

[thebandit]

Just confirmed on Today fm

games are now on Saturday week July 28th

[topgun]

fair play to the gaa, putting the familys first and calling off this weekends games, thoughts and prayers are with the McGarry and O'Mahoney familys, puts sport into perspective.

[Sky Blue]

The funerals are on Sunday. Right thing to do.

[timmyot501]

Very sad news indeed - Right to call off the games on Sunday

[AZOffaly]

If this is true, then well done to the GAA on making the right decision in my view. How could you ask anyone to play a game in those circumstances, with the funeral taking place the same day.

[Spiritof98]

Is it just the senior games or are the Nicky Rackhard/ring Games affected

[IolarCoisCuain]

They are right and correct to postpone the games, but they must have been under a lot of pressure not to, the world being as it is. Fair play to them for knowing what's important.

[magpie seanie]

Right and proper decision. Hurling can wait.

[magickingdom]

shocking news, my thoughts and prayers are with the McGarry and O'Mahony familys. the gaa have made the right decision.

[Redgreenery]

Right decision by the Gaa, it's good to see they have decency, sympathy goes to the family in this troubling time.

[lynchbhoy]

good move alright
but
have any of you heard of inter county championship games being cancelled before ?
is this a first ?
I suppose funerals on a sunday are relatively new to Ireland - well I had not come across them until recently...

[The Real Laoislad]

But surely it would have been cancelled anyway,How could his team mates go and play after something like this happenend? Some things are far more important than Gaa
