Both the refixed All-Ireland semi-final between Kerry and Tyrone on Saturday week and the All-Ireland final on Saturday, September 4th will have 3pm throw-in times.

A Covid-19 outbreak among the Tyrone squad and coaching staff saw next Sunday’s original semi-final date with Kerry put back six days, which in turn forced the GAA to put the decider back a week.

Stephen Kenny’s Ireland side take on Azerbaijan in a World Cup qualifier at 5pm on Saturday, September 4th, with a crowd of 25,000 permitted at the Aviva Stadium, while a 40,000 crowd will be in Croke Park for the All-Ireland final, starting two hours earlier.

The GAA also announced that Meath's David Coldrick will take charge of the semi-final between Kerry and Tyrone.
