Leitrim GAA club suspends activities over Covid-19 fears

A Leitrim GAA club has suspended all activities for 48 hours over Covid-19 fears.

The Kiltubrid club made the decision after a member of both their GAA and LGFA sides was identified as a close contact to someone who has tested positive for coronavirus.

They said in a statement on Thursday night: "As a precautionary measure, all activity within Kiltubrid GAA and LGFA at both underage and adult levels has been suspended.

"This is due to one member of both clubs today being identified as a close contact of an individual who has tested positive for Covid-19.

"We will update all club members of any developments of the above over the next 48 hours."

The men's junior team are scheduled to play Glencar/Manorhamilton on Sunday in the Leitrim Junior B championship, while the Ladies team are due to take on Ballinamore Sean O'Heslins in a Senior Championship semi-final on the same day.

Both games are outside the 48-hour window, but it remains to be seen if they will go ahead.
