Saturday sport: Premier League action; other events at risk due to weather

A number of sporting events have already fallen victim to the cold snap this weekend.

Tomorrow's All-Ireland senior football semi-final between Errigal Ciarán and Dr Crokes has been postponed following a pitch inspection at O'Moore Park.

That game will now take place next Saturday - the other semi-final between Coolera-Strandhill and Cuala will go ahead, as it stands.

Today's racing at Cork, Sandown and Wincanton has been abandoned after early-morning inspections.

The stewards will inspect the track at Naas racecourse tomorrow morning ahead of an afternoon card there.

The two All-Ireland intermediate football semi-finals slated for today have survived the cold spell.
