Cavan GAA have been forced into a switch of venues for this weekend's Senior Football Championship games following a "major" fire at Kingspan Breffni Park.
Friday's game between Ramor United and Ballyhaise will now take place in Mullahoran [20:00 BST], with four other games over Saturday and Sunday also moving to alternative venues.
The incident is believed to have started in the stadium's kitchen area on Thursday night, following Crosserlough's victory over Laragh United at the Cavan town venue.
Gardai and local fire services attended the scene just after just after midnight with the blaze extinguished and no injuries reported.
"Due to a major incident at Kingspan Breffni overnight, the venue is out of commission for the weekend," the Cavan county board confirmed in a statement.
"Thankfully nobody was injured but currently no power or water in the stadium.
"Further details will be shared once the full extent of the damage has been assessed."
Saturday's game between Arva and Cavan Gaels will now take place in Ballymachugh, while Cootehill will host the meeting of Cuchulainns and Kingscourt - both games now have an 18:00 throw-in.
On Sunday, Castlerahan v Gowna is refixed for Lacken at 16:30, while Killygarry will face Mullahoran at Crosskeys [18:00].
