April is the worst month of the year weatherwise in Ire/UK as it looks outside like it should be summer, but the reality is its absolutely freezing. Makes the longer evenings depressing when it's light outside,  but still baltic.

We always get decent weather in April. 

Most pitches are off too. Shambles.

When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

The standard of pitches in Dublin in many instances isn't great or they are very quick to call them off. My team in Donegal have 21/22 of our league matches played this season. Only a handful of matches called off in the league with weather all season and we've had as sh*tty a winter/spring as ye. Team I played with in Dublin have just 13 played, some teams in their division with ten or eleven...I suppose a lot of them would be public pitches and they get called off with any dribble of rain

There is no rain forecast and nearly every pitch in Dublin if off.

The sun was shining Friday and Saturday.


This time last year we were finished our league - and we are only getting started.

My son has played 3 league games this year. 1 in the 1st week of Sept - the second game 1st week of Dec and then last Sunday.

Absolute shambles.

Not just Dublin either. Most matches called off for months now. So much rain in the ground a dry day doesn't even wash it away.

I thought you were talking about 2024 but 3 games all season is a joke.

Another observation is that the South Dublin games tend to be given the go ahead more than the Northside.

You can throw in 2 cup games too - but the NDSL is a shambles as well. It's combination of factors.

The only April I ever remember that we got decent weather in was during the first few months of the pandemic in 2020.

May and September are usually our decent months for sunshine I find.

As the saying goes 'April Showers'. Something to do with jet streams being pushed North and bring wind and rain. It does seem a lot colder this year.
