- The Leinster Championship game between Westmeath and Wicklow went ahead in spite of the latter team only fielding 13 players. They were reduced to just 12 players during the first half when a player went off injured. After training by 9-22 to no score, the Wicklow players refused to line out for the second half and the match was awarded to Kildare.
