    Only LOI sides in the Shield. 4 non-league sides join afterwards. I think Shield has north & south divisions?

    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.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    Nice to see the three NW teams grouped - a chance for our kids to kick some ass!

    Is it just coincidence that Galway are the only team to have such long trips.
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    Groups are regionalised, Galway happen to be the odd one out.

    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?

    They are the 'A' teams. Each Premier Division club have to enter a team.
