The FBD Connacht League match due to take place between Mayo and Galway in Castlebar on Sunday was called off after the scheduled throw-in time with the sizeable crowd already in MacHale Park.

A frozen pitch was the reason for the postponement with Connacht GAA then announcing that none of the estimated 2,000 people in the ground would receive refunds for the €10 entrance fee they had paid in, all fans instead receiving a voucher to attend another FBD League match of their choice.

Everybody that was there was given a ticket for any other game they want to go to in the FBD League.

Speaking to Midwest Radio, Connacht GAA chairman John Prenty said that this is a usual policy with postponed matches as it is difficult to give out refunds on the gate.
