All-Ireland Intermediate final postponed due to 'tragic event'

The All-Ireland Intermediate Club Football Championship final was set to take place at Croke Park on Sunday

This weekend's All-Ireland Intermediate Club Football final between Ballinderry and Crossmolina has been postponed because of "a tragic event", the GAA has confirmed.

The game was due to be played on Sunday at Croke Park.

The GAA says it will confirm a new date for the game "in due course".

In a statement, Mayo club Crossmolina said they "are devastated at the news of the tragic incident that has occurred.

"Our heartfelt thoughts are with the family and friends at this difficult time," it added.

"We have been in contact with our members involved, and they have requested that we all understand their need for privacy at this incredibly difficult time."

Ballinderry said: "Our thoughts are with the Crossmolina community, and all impacted at this time."

Ulster champions Ballinderry defeated Kerry side Austin Stacks in the All-Ireland semi-finals as they look to bounce back from being demoted from senior football last year.

Crossmolina won the Connacht title and beat Caragh of Kildare in the last four to reach the Croke Park decider.

The intermediate decider is a meeting of the two clubs that won the 2001 and 2002 All-Ireland Senior Club titles.
