Following Tuesday s meeting of the Ladies Gaelic Football Association and advice from the GAA Covid-19 Advisory Group, no group training will be permitted until Friday, March 5. The incidence of the virus in the community remains at a level where it would be irresponsible for the LGFA to permit a return to collective training at this moment in time, said Ladies GFA CEO Helen O Rourke. As the situation with the virus remains fluid, it is unfortunately impossible for the Association to put definitive dates in place for when Inter-County training or games may resume but they have confirmed activity will not return prior to the 5th March while Level 5 restrictions remain in place.
