Format for the All Ireland Inter-County Team Event Competition:
This year, the men's event will be expanded to include an All-Ireland Inter-County ‘B’ Championship Event, aimed at counties sending a second team and newer counties endeavouring to build up the sport in their locality. The Inter-County Shield Event is still in place for counties who don’t qualify from their groups in both the ‘A’ and ‘B’ Championships. This format will still give every team the same amount of pool as in previous years but after listening to some feedback it was decided that two separate competitions is the way to go. If any ‘B’ team feels that they are strong enough to play in the ‘A’ competition then we will make an allowance but we encourage all ‘A’ teams and ‘B’ and ‘C’ teams to participate in the two separate competitions.
Closing Date for all team entries – mens, ladies and over 50s is Saturday the 22nd March 2014. This is the Saturday of the fifth ranking event in the Carlton Shearwater Hotel, Ballinasloe. All teams are to have their full entry fee for the team event in on this date. The cost as normal is €250 per team and if a county enters three teams the third team’s registration is free. No entries will be accepted after this date. Note that we will accept all ‘A’ and ‘B’ team entries and ‘C’
