Minor (U-18) Championship.
The County Board intends running a Minor championship commencing Sunday 16th.Oct. This competition will be run on a knock-out basis with the losers going directly into a Shield competition, thereby giving every club at least 2 games at this grade. Clubs should be aware that the U-16 championship is still in progress and if a club intends using under 16s in a Minor competition then they could very well have to play two games in two days in the respective competitions.
The County Board will run an A and B Minor Championship and clubs will be graded accordingly. Before entering clubs should be fully aware of the rules of these competitions…..
- Games to be scheduled for 11am on Sunday mornings. Clubs may alter start times by mutual agreement with County Board & Aoife Maguire (087-9160955) being informed not later than 48 hours prior to the game.
- Games will be “play or concede”. If home venue is not playable then the tie will revert to the opposition,s ground.
- Every game up to the finals will have 10 mins each way extra time, following by 3 X 45’s as we must have a result on the day.
- Clubs may use all weather surfaces. In addition if both clubs are agreeable and wish to play under lights then the County Board will have no objection.
- The County Board will not be in a position to indicate a date for the final (Neutral venue) until after nominations have been received.
- Semi finals will be staged on a “home or away” basis.
- Championship draws will be made on Wednesday 12th. at a venue TBC.
- If a Club enters more than one team they must nominate separate panels. A girl nominated in a B competition may “sub up” to an A panel, but the reverse will not be permitted.
