The Galway Senior Football Championship final between Maigh Cuilinn and Salthill-Knocknacarra has been moved from Saturday evening to Sunday afternoon.

Galway GAA made the decision after Met Éireann issued several weather warnings ahead of the arrival of Storm Boelo on Saturday.

The senior final will be played at Pearse Stadium on Sunday (throw-in: 4pm). The Galway Intermediate Football Championship decider between Caherlistrane and An Spidéal will be the first fixture in the day's double-header at the Salthill venue (2pm).

In a further shake-up to the weekend's schedule, the Galway Primary Junior and Primary Junior 2 football finals will both be played on Bank Holiday Monday at Pearse Stadium.

First up, it's Annaghdown and Tuam Stars in Primary Junior 2 (1pm) followed by the meeting of Headford and Fr. Griffins-Éire Óg in Primary Junior (3pm).
