GAA suspends all club activity with immediate effect
The GAA’s Management Committee has today endorsed a decision to suspend all GAA Club games at all levels with immediate effect and until further notice.
The decision has been taken in the interest of public safety following a number of incidents that have been brought to our attention in recent days. In particular, post-match celebrations and a lack of social distancing at certain events have proved disappointing and problematic.
This directive applies to all ages and all grades across the island. Click below for full GAA statement.

Billy O'Dwyer RIP
On Sunday morning as the final preparations were being put in place for the St Canices Credit Union Senior County Final the sad news that Billy O'Dwyer has passed broke around the ground. Billy formerly of the Foulkstown Club in Kilkenny and more recently of the Faughs club in Dublin was the proud holder of two All-Ireland Senior medals with Kilkenny (1957/63) and three Leinster medals (1957/58 & 63).
All associated with Kilkenny GAA would like to extend our sympathies to Billy's wife Anne and his family. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a ainm.
