A Championship Info ?

[passerrby]

will waterford with ifs financial problems still enter a team , it seems like a expense they could do without

[blue til i die]

we will only have an U20 team afaik

[tralee_dynamo]

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...

[kingdomkerry]

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?

The Kerry League senior team got a good result this year in the League Cup versus Waterford. But a I think individual clubs may need to start to step up to the plate. After all it's the clubs that make up the representative side. Also, maybe Tralee Dynamoes are stealing a march on their rivals?


After Edit:
Freudian slip from yourself aswell kingdomkerry.

[Black and White]

Has it even started yet??haven't heard squat about it to be honest!

[Schumi]

Has it even started yet??

No. Some time in June I think.

Nobody from any other town will support Tralee Dynamos, actually most people from tralee wont either. A team representing the county could be supported by all

[pineapple stu]

Like Kildare County?

[kingdomkerry]

Kildare county are newbridge i think they just changed their name to try and get support of the whole county. I have no idea how their attendances are

[steno]

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.

[TheBoss]

The Shield competition is a taster for what is to come when the A Championship kicks-off towards the end of this month.

The A Championship will see 17 clubs compete for a prize-fund of €20,000. The presence of three clubs new to the eircom League of Ireland – Salthill Devon, Mervue United and Tullamore Town – means that for the first time there is the possibility of promotion and relegation from the eircom League of Ireland First Division.

The full A Championship fixture list will be revealed over the coming days.

It is 17, in that case, thats 12 PL + 3(Tullamore, Salthill, Mervue) + Dundalk = 16

Who is the other one ?
