Anyone got info on what teams are now actually in this?
When does it start?
Is there a prize fund?
Is the league split, and how many times do they play each other?
Is there a website or link with details?
Are there any First Division clubs involved?
All I know is that its the 12 Premier Division Clubs + Salthill Devon, Mervue Utd and Tullamore Town, I think 1 more team still has to be added, so that they will be 2 groups of 8.
It's slated to start in June - I thought a number of the First Div clubs had entered (the Premier teams have to enter), and that it was targetted at two Div's of 10 each.
Cheers :)Quote:

Actually was amazed at how progressive a step it was :eek: :ball:
Regarding teams belonging to eL clubs, will the players involved be limited to the A League for the duration of the season? Or will they be able to join the senior squad if good enough?
It's a reserve team effectively so I assume players can move freely between the teams.Quote:

Hi Lads.
Just wondering, does anyone know, apart from Salthill Devon and Mervue United, who is in the A. Championship ?
Reserve team from each premier club (compulsory)
Limerick 37 reserve team, apparantly (dont think we have one yet) from first division.
Dont know what other clubs will take part, other than the two you mentioned.
I think there are two or three more but theres not much info available on it yet.....
Tullamore.
Thanks alot lads.
I forgot Tullamore. We ( I mean Waterford United) will have a team in it next season, when we complete our promotion to the Premier Division.
Roll on next March.
Not to be snide or anything but don't Waterford have more pressing concerns than worrying about next seasons reserve team?
will waterford with ifs financial problems still enter a team , it seems like a expense they could do without
we will only have an U20 team afaik
Kerry League were supposed to be entering a team but pulled out, but we are entering a team and the club has already met with FAI a few times etc...
One kerry team representing the county would be betting than a club from one town.
I'm not sure. Do you feel Tralee Dynamoes won't be competitive?Quote:

After Edit:
Freudian slip from yourself aswell kingdomkerry.
Has it even started yet??haven't heard squat about it to be honest!
No. Some time in June I think.Quote:

No Kildare County are nothing to do with Newbridge Town. Newbridge were offered St. Francis spot in the league but it was decided to set up a team that could possibly
attract suppport throughout the county - Kildare County. Kildare County are just tenants to Newbridge in station road.
According to this, I assume that Dundalk FC will be entering a team in the A Championship.
It is 17, in that case, thats 12 PL + 3(Tullamore, Salthill, Mervue) + Dundalk = 16Quote:
