On 17 March, the GAA confirmed that the opening fixture – due to have taken place at Gaelic Park in The Bronx on 3 May – had been postponed due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games. [6] The Galway vs Sligo Connacht SFC semi-final was not played as Sligo were affected by COVID-19 cases. As a result, Galway advanced to the provincial final without playing a single match for the first time since 1965. So Galway's first (and, as it turned out, last) match was the Connacht SFC final. The Connacht SFC had only four teams instead of the usual seven. This previously only ever happened during the period when all Connacht SFC finals were between Galway and Mayo (1933–1940), and again in 1965. [7]
