This weekend's AIB All-Ireland Intermediate Club Football final between Crossmolina Deel Rovers and Ballinderry has been postponed "due to a tragic event", the GAA has said.
The game between the clubs from Mayo and Derry had been due to throw in at 4.30pm on Sunday at Croke Park.
But due to the death of an individual connected to the Crossmolina club, the match has now been postponed and will be played at a later date. The CCCC will look to confirm the re-fixture details "in due course".
In a statement on social media, Crossmolina said they were "devastated at the news of the tragic incident that has occurred."
"Our heartfelt thoughts are with the family and friends at this difficult time," the club added.

Crossmolina had booked their place in the All-Ireland Intermediate decider by getting past Kildare side Caragh in the semi-final in Longford on 4 January, while Ballinderry had done so by beating Kerry's Austin Stacks in the other last-four encounter.
