Juveniles. We have the leagues drawn up for the juveniles and this will begin week starting the 23rd of January, it is very important all players and coaches check the sheets on the notice board as to what night and what time they are on as we had to move some about to fit the leagues in, we hope this doesn’t cause any problems. Coaches can adjust the rules to the playing ability of each of the leagues we leave it up to each set of coaches. Until that week the coaching is on as per normal for all, also we ask all county champions to get in as much practise as possible as the Ulster competitions are just around the corner.
