The weather is causing difficulties for the scheduled point-to-point fixture at Fairwood Park, Tinahely, next Sunday and precautionary inspections will take place.
Met Éireann status yellow wind and rain warnings are due to come into effect at 2am on Sunday morning and remain valid until 3pm that afternoon.
The going at Tinahely was found to be ‘Soft’ when inspected on Friday afternoon. However, there is significant rainfall forecast on Sunday morning, ahead of what is the rescheduled Bray Harriers fixture in Fairwood Park.
Speaking on Friday afternoon, IHRB Course Inspector Pat Kelly said; “The track has some casual water on it following the extremely heavy rainfall last night and this morning.
“There is a dry forecast this evening, and mainly dry forecast for tomorrow, but unfortunately we have a very bad forecast for Sunday morning with wind and rain in excess of 15mm, maybe 20mm of rain coming in Sunday morning,” he stated.
