The Allianz Hurling League final has been put back a week following the postponement of three Division 1 games yesterday.
The hurling decider will now take place on the same weekend as the football final, March 30-31, with the quarter-finals taking place on the St Patrick's Bank Holiday weekend and the semi-finals on the weekend of March 23-24.
Yesterday's postponed Division 1A ties - Cork v Tipperary and Wexford v Kilkenny - along with the postponed Division 1B game between Waterford and Galway have been re-fixed for next Sunday, March 10. The Allianz Hurling League quarter-final between Laois and Limerick has been scheduled for O'Moore Park next Saturday, March 9 at 7pm.
The main aim of the CCCC when considering these rearrangements was to minimise disruption to the scheduling of club games in April and May.

Saturday 9 March
Allianz HL Division 1 quarter-final
Laois v Limerick, O'Moore Park, 7pm
