Tomorrow's scheduled Limerick fixture was abandoned yesterday after prolonged rain had waterlogged the track. The course manager Colette Henchey said: "It hasn't stopped raining here for the last 10 days and after the Turf Club inspector of courses examined the track, we had no option. There had been a chance of going ahead up to Thursday night but the heavy rain then was too much and it's now unraceable."

The £20,000 Murphys Munster National had been the intended race for the Gold Cup favourite Dorans Pride. His trainer Michael Hourigan said: "It's disappointing and at the moment I have no alternative race for him."

The Roscommon programme, rearranged for Monday, has been abandoned. The course is waterlogged.
