Only LOI sides in the Shield. 4 non-league sides join afterwards. I think Shield has north & south divisions?
The 'A' League Shield fixtures for Harps are as follows:
30th March -v- Derry City (home)
6th April -v- Sligo Rovers (home)
27th April -v- Derry City (away)
11th May -v- Sligo Rovers (away)
Harps / Derry / Sligo are in Group 4. Group winners progress to semi-finals with winners of Group 4 facing Drogheda / Bohemians / Shamrock Rovers in a home semi-final on 25th May. Final scheduled for the first weekend in June.
Does anyone know if there is a website for this league. Tried to find one but no joy.

Should be a good turn out for the Big Derby in group C. anyone know where Boh's are playing home games?
Great history in Group D - dunno if there will be many out for the A League Shield games though, considering how well they are being advertised.
If Pats are playing in Richmond I'll definitely catch a few
Nice to see the three NW teams grouped - a chance for our kids to kick some ass!
Long trip down for Galway to Play Us (Cork city) and Cobh.
Is it just coincidence that Galway are the only team to have such long trips.
Anyone know why Tullamore, Mrevue and Salthill aren't in the Shield?
AFAIK, their junior league seasons are still in progress.
Groups are regionalised, Galway happen to be the odd one out.Quote:

What happened to the suggestion that some of the Divison 1 teams were going to put forward A League sides? Or are they still going to but for some reason excluded from the Shield?
thouht the A league was basically to get the teams on the verge of the loi in the picture wher are kerry league?
that does'nt answer my question?
They are the 'A' teams. Each Premier Division club have to enter a team.Quote:
