Storm damage at Ardee means Louth have been forced into a venue switch for their home Allianz Football Division 2 fixtures.

The Wee County opened their account with an exciting away win against Westmeath, but their next three home assignments in the campaign have been switched away from Pairc Mhuire in Ardee to the Integral GAA Grounds in Drogheda, formerly known as the Gaelic Grounds.

Sunday's fixture against Roscommon, as well as the round 4 game against Down and round 5 tie with Monaghan will now take place in Drogheda.

Louth conclude their group campaign on 23 March against Meath, but this game had already been pencilled in for Inniskeen Grattan's ground due to capacity limitations in Ardee.

Elsewhere, Sunday’s Division 1 clash between Connacht rivals Mayo and Galway at McHale Park has been switched to the earlier time of 2.30pm.

Storm damage has resulted in the floodlights not being operational this weekend.
