Kildare's scheduled O'Byrne Cup game has been called off, as the Lilywhites claim they are unable to field a team. 

The game was due to be played in Kinnegad this evening.

Glenn Ryan's side couldn't qualify for the semi-finals of the O'Byrne Cup anyway, and neither could Westmeath, therefore it would've been a dead rubber.

Louth are already into the semi finals of the O'Byrne Cup and they will learn their opponents this evening, once Dublin and Offaly complete their encounter at Parnell Park.

The winners of the Meath - Longford game in Ashbourne will qualify for the final.

And the other game is a dead rubber between Laois and Carlow in Stradbally.

All of the matches throw in at 8.

SNOOKER

Mark Williams is into the quarter finals of the Masters in London.

Williams was a 6 frames to 2 winner over David Gilbert and will now face Ronnie O'Sullivan.

In the first round today, Judd Trump takes on Ryan Day in the afternoon session, with Kyren Wilson and Stuart Bingham to do battle this evening.
