Please note that if a school enters teams but does not attend, the school will still be responsible for the entry fee. (fee to be paid by December 10th) This is due to hall rental costs—once a venue is booked, it must be paid for regardless of attendance. It also causes difficulties for schools attending expecting to play.

Closing date for entries is Friday December 6th and fixtures will be issued before Christmas.

A few short notes:

  • In 4th Class Series, schools may enter up to 2 teams in either the Non-Competitive or Competitive Series.
  • In 3rd Class Peil Faoi Dhíon, schools may enter up to 2 teams.
  • There is no limit on panel size.
  • For schools entering the 4th Class Competitive Series, winners of the regional blitzes will qualify for the County Finals during the week of February 10th .
  • Entry is €20 per team entered. Please remember that if a school enter teams, but do not attend, schools will still be responsible for the entry fees. This is due to the fact that hall rental is expensive, and once booked, we are still obliged to pay for them regardless of attendance. Also, it is very unfair on schools who attend a venue expecting to get a chance to play against other schools, only to find that some of those schools do not turn up.
  • The Peil Faoi Dhíon Series will utilise Pella posts which have been installed in the venues listed.
