"It's very important to pause the exuberance now. We need to get our feet back on the ground because we're in this for the long haul."With reports that the government will move the country to Level 3 - and not Level 5 as previously speculated - there is still a green light as such for the inter-county championship to go ahead.

In hurling, Kildare, Laois and Offaly all had outstanding finals planned for this coming weekend. https://twitter.com/ConanDoherty/status/1240348542788608000
