Roscommon GAA has confirmed that there has been a second change of venue for one of its football championship semi-finals on Saturday.

The last four intermediate football championship clash between Éire Óg and St. Michael’s had been switched from Abbey Park to Kilronan Park, Ballyfarnon on Friday evening because of an unplayable pitch in Boyle.

However, further heavy rain overnight has left Ballyfarnon unplayable, with the game now switched to the home of St. Croan's GAA Club, Enfield.

The game will throw in at 3 p.m..

There has also been a change of venue for the Junior A Football Championship semi-final on Saturday between Ballinameen and St. Aidan's.

The originial venue, Strokestown, was deemed unplayable earlier in the day and, following a toss for home venue, the game has been moved to Davonna Park, Ballinameen. 

As it stands, the other four semi-finals in the Senior, Intermediate and Junior A Football Championships are going ahead as planned in their original venues, but there are likely to be pitch inspections over the weekend because of the poor weather conditions.
