Leinster First Year Leagues

Hi all

This e-mail is with reference to the Leinster First Year Leagues.

 

In what will hopefully become normal procedure, I have combined all First Year League fixtures in one booklet, the link for which is below.

 

The group stages of this competition commence immediately. The vast majority of group closing dates are set for Friday January 20th 2023, so that gives plenty of time to play 2/3 group matches, so please get your matches arranged asap. Matches can be played in any order.

 

We are also pleased to launch Division Three competitions in the North East & Midlands regions, bringing to four the number of regions offering this level of competition.

 

We are also restarting our Leinster Champions League competition in 2023, so it is absolutely vital that all regions stay on track in terms of getting their competitions finished. Currently, the Champions League will be offered to all Division One & Division Two winners – a decision as to whether or not there will be a Division Three Champions League will be taken before Christmas.

 

The mentor contacts booklet for all regions is attached. Please keep the document safe & store in accordance with GDPR.

 

Details of the various competition organisers are detailed in both the fixture booklet & the mentor contacts booklet. Remember, it is the responsibility of the mentor to remain in contact with the competition organiser & not their job to chase you.

 

As always, referees must be appointed via the referees allocator for your region – details are available here: http://faischools.ie/leinster/post-primary-boys/referees-information/allocations-schools-matchesPlease give as much notice as possible to the referee allocators.

 

The fixture booklet is available by clicking on the PDF document below.
