The weather has once again caused havoc for the inter-county season as two Allianz League games have been called off due to unplayable pitches.
The Allianz Football League Division 3 tie between Louth and Westmeath has been postponed after Drogheda failed a pitch inspection this morning. Elsewhere, heavy rain has resulted in the Division 2 clash between Clare and Meath at Cusack Park also being postponed.
After pitch inspections this morning in Drogheda and alternative venues, today's match v @westmeath_gaa is OFF

P O S T P O N E D
Today’s game vs. @GaaClare has been postponed.
Refixture details will be announced when we are informed.
The game is NOT being played today Saturday 16th. #GAA #AllianzLeagues— Meath GAA (@MeathGAA) March 16, 2019
Both games have to be played this weekend due to a packed calendar and the 'April for clubs' rule. Therefore, they will be played either tomorrow or on Monday.
The GAA had predicted this scenario and contacted some counties to let them know games may be re-scheduled for St. Patrick's Day or the Bank Holiday Monday in order to preserve April is a club month.
A pitch inspection in Clones has and Walsh Park has also taken place but both games are currently going ahead.
