Mini Leagues, Tournaments, Blitzes & Much more

May 15, 14 Mini Leagues, Tournaments, Blitzes & Much more

It’s that time of the year when clubs organise some much needed funds with their Mini League and blitzes. So far these are the ones I’m aware of happening in the coming weeks. I have also included the two big tournaments happening this summer. The in-house ones are a great way to raise some much needed funds for the club and are always great fun for the kids.

If you are interested in taking part please forward your name, email address, contact number, name and age group of your team (please give next seasons ages, eg Under 12 (2003). Provided we have your email address we will also keep you up to date with all information regarding the event as they happen.

Note: In order to try to avoid a repeat of this, we are now requesting that anyone who wants to guarantee their involvement, please forward the payment for your team as soon as possible, together with your teams details (club/age group etc).

We will be filling the event in the order of teams having paid and once we reach the required numbers in each section we will then be putting any further teams on a standby list in case of dropouts (any team on standby will obviously only pay if invited to take part). We want to involve as many teams as possible and as always we request your support in this regard, and hope you understand why we feel that this is necessary, however, this will result in a better tournament for everyone.

The cost of entry for teams is as follows:

  • 7/9 a-side teams  –   Under 8’s to Under 11’s inclusive costs €80 euro per team
  • 11 a-side teams    –   Under 12’s & above costs €120 euro per team

FAI 4 V 4 Football Development Day

  • Location: Ferrybank AFC
  • Date: Sunday 28th September.
  • Details: The event is open to all Schoolboy Clubs from right across Ireland with a maximum of 40 teams allowed to take part.
  • Cost: €40 per team with all money raised going to The John Giles Foundation

This is a different type of “tournament” we won’t have any league tables, knock outs, winners/losers etc, its simply all about games and enjoyment for the players and coaches. I am hoping to get a good mix of clubs from across Ireland to take part as it gives the kids a new experience playing against different opposition. Squads of 8 max and all info is on the poster. As stated the maximum entry is 40 teams right now I am limiting it to 1 team per club. All players born on or after 1st January 2006.
