Where did this info come from??

**harpskid** · 08/03/2006, 3:20 PM

Finn Harps were informed of this yesterday evening

This is going to be a 3rd comp for the 21s this year so expect clubs to use it to keep players fresh and give others trials, 5 overage players are allowed in this comp compared with 3 in the league and cup.

Beeslow are going to apply to join next season or season after.

Hope they don't play their home games at same time as Athlone Town
