The inter-county minor and under-20 championships could be scrapped for this year, with confusion over what Gaelic games can continue once Level 5 restrictions kick in tonight.

Reports this morning suggest only senior inter-county games will be allowed to go ahead.

There are three games scheduled in the Leinster under-20 hurling championship this evening, while Waterford are due to play Tipperary in Fraher field in the Munster semi-final on Monday.

A statement from the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture has said any decision on whether underage championship games can continue is "still being clarified".
