‘Storm Bert’ has caused a series of pitch inspections, venue moves and postponements across the country in today’s provincial club GAA championship games.

The storm brought heavy rain and high winds overnight and led to serious flooding in many areas of the country.

In Leinster, the junior hurling semi-finals between Wicklow’s Avondale and Kilkenny’s St. Lachtains (at Bray), and Bray Emmetts (Wicklow) versus St. Anne’s (Wexford) at Aughim have both been moved to tomorrow (Sunday) due to the heavy rain.

The other 10 games in the Leinster club football and hurling championships across the senior, intermediate and junior grades go ahead as scheduled.
