Anybody any info on this?
I don't even think the FAI have details on this.
We're assembling a squad at present with word that 2 other sides will be competing from Donegal in this. We can't tell anyone anything about it.
How can you budget for a competition when you don't know who you'll be playing or how many games there will be? Travel costs, Refs, etc.
Hadn't heard anything myself but Shels announced they were 'selected' for it
As far as i know, City's underage teams are pulling out of the Cork youth leagues at the end of this season.
I think it's meant to start August/September, that because the A Championship sides are entering teams, that's why that league is wrapping up so early this year. Haven't heard anything about the groups, but the U-20 league was always regional.
It's to be an "elite" Division of 14 with 2 regional groups below that plus, it starts in August.
That's about all we know.
Is this definitely, final answer, ending the third tier of the league?
Some info on Bray website:

So with "Elite" league of 12:
Bray, Bohs, Cork, Dundalk, Mervue, Pats, Salthill, Rovers,Shels, UCD, Waterford, Wexford
We'll have 2 regional divisions of around 7? (guessing that A league sides enter too?)
Northern:
Sligo, Derry, Drogheda, Mons, Harps, Fanad and Letterkenny Rovers
Southern:
Galway, Limerick, Longford, Athlone, Cobh, Tralee, Carlow
I know Letterkenny were entering, anyone else know of any other non-league sides entering?
Did I read somewhere Castlebar will be entering a team? I'll try and find it
With the "new" age rules for the upcoming season anyone know for sure what year these players have to be born in?
You have to be born in 93 or after. So basically it's those who would have had one more year at youths level under the old age group rules. They'll now be over age for youths but can feed into the 19's league which works out well.
im guessing from what Vim Kovarmans was hinting that all teams will have to play in "stadiums" as opposed to pitches. So if we look at the elite league there Bray have the carlisle, Bohs have dalymount, Cork have the FAI owned Bishopstown, Dundalk have orial, Mervue have a pitch but a great underage, Pats have inchcore, Salthill have a field on the moores but an excellent underage setup, Rovers have SDCC stadium,Shels have Dannigers Tolka, UCD have Bellfield, Waterford have WCCs stadium (and john delaney, milo corcoran and john tracy,and the star newspaper) Wexford have a good underage.
Is there any dates for the season to kick off for u19s
Week ending 28th August
Don't know
Just been told yesterday that only players Born in 1993 and after can play in this. We have 3 players who were born late 92 and will be 18 when the league starts yet, they will not be allowed to play for us. Bloody stupid.
This under 19's league is becoming more of a farce the more I hear about it.
Couple that with the **** poor details supplied by the FAI, it's not easy for clubs to prepare for it.
