A Championship Info ?

**finnpark** · 27/03/2008, 3:13 PM

Anyone got info on what teams are now actually in this?

**Bluebeard** · 27/03/2008, 3:15 PM

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.

Really?

In all fairness would they not be better off concentrating on the first team?

I'd imagine it's an attempt to snare some more of the Junior talent around town

Basically try it out see if it's good enough.

Actually was amazed at how progressive a step it was

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.

They play in the CCFL as in www.ccfl.ie and the LSL - www.lsl.ie.

Hi Lads.

Just wondering, does anyone know, apart from Salthill Devon and Mervue United, who is in the A. Championship ?

**KevB76** · 13/05/2008, 7:14 PM

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.....

**pineapple stu** · 13/05/2008, 7:20 PM

Tullamore.

**Blueandproud** · 13/05/2008, 7:31 PM

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.
