Just thought I'd give a quick rundown of the 'A' Championship clubs' websites (or sections dedicated to the 'A' teams on the main teams' websites), just out of interest (let me know if I missed some!):
Bohemians 'A' (http://www.bohemians.ie/community/a-side.html)
Some very short match reports for some games. Seemed to have lost interest recently. No fixtures or league tables.
Bray Wanderers 'A' (http://www.braywanderers.ie/index.php?id=843)
Shows the fixtures (identical to the original League of Ireland fixture list) and 'A' squad members. No results or league tables.
Castlebar Celtic (http://www.castlebarceltic.com)
Short news articles and match reports available on the main page and archive sections. Fixtures / Results and Match Reports refer to previous seasons.
Cobh Ramblers (http://www.cobhramblers.ie/)
Fixtures, results and tables visible in right hand panel on main page. Links to match reports on main page - and a nice Statistics section and a Squad and a Gallery section. Fixtures and Results link still refers to 2008 season.
Cork City 'A' (http://www.corkcityfc.ie)
Seems to be no fixtures or league tables. There are detailed match reports hidden away in the News section.
Derry City 'A' (http://www.derrycityfc.net)
Cannot find anything on the site even mentioning the 'A' team.
Drogheda United 'A' (http://www.droghedaunited.ie)
Also, no fixtures or league tables (ermmm, not even for the first team for 2009). But there are detailed match reports in the News section, and even some photos in the Gallery section.
Dundalk 'A' (http://www.dundalkfc.com)
Cannot find anything on the site even mentioning the 'A' team.
FC Carlow (http://fc-carlow.com)
Does not seem to have any information about the current season.
Finn Harps 'A' (http://www.finnharps.com/AFixtures.htm)
The site have a page for fixtures and results, with links to match reports, also available from the News section.
Galway United 'A' (http://www.galwayunitedfc.ie/menu-items/a-championship.html)
They have a page with fixtures and results. Hasn't been updated for a while.
Sligo Rovers 'A' (http://www.sligorovers.com/)
Can't get into the site, it's classed as a reported attack site. Interesting...
Shamrock Rovers 'A' (http://www.shamrockrovers.ie/teams/a-championship-section/a-championship-fixtures)
Easy-to-find 'A' Championship section containing squad information, as well as fixtures and results. There are also results and line-ups in the News section.
Sporting Fingal 'A' (http://www.sportingfingal.ie/ResultsandFixtures/AChampionship/tabid/1400/Default.aspx)
Little info available under Teams and Results and Fixtures, but very out of date.
St Patrick's Athletic (http://www.stpatsfc.com)
Cannot find anything on the site on the 'A' team.
Salthill Devon (http://www.salthilldevon.ie/achampionship/index.html)
They have an 'A' Championship mini-site with fixtures, results, squad and management information.
Tralee Dynamos (http://www.traleedynamos.com)
They have fixtures, results, tables, links to match reports and squad information.
Tullamore Town
Do not seem to have a website.
Probably unsurpringly so, the best website out these is the Cobh Ramblers one, but honourable mentions will also have to go to Salthill Devon, Finn Harps, Shamrock Rovers and Tralee Dynamos. The others are simply not up to scratch!
OK, that killed about an hour of my time... ;)
