The northen qualifying/seeding group of this comp has already been played off, no lad was disbarred if he was sitting exams. The teams are waiting now to see how they get seeded. Antrim beat everyone, Down beat everyone except Antrim, Derry beat the rest. Nothing new about it so far up here anyway downredhand (Tyrone) - Posts: 567 - 20/04/2016 15:26:57 1847663 Link 0 |

Its for 16 year olds that ARE NOT sitting exams of course some including my own son are , those that ARE SITTING are not eligible for selection. bricktop (Down) - Posts: 2503 - 20/04/2016 16:16:46 1847691 Link 0 |
Yeah Keeper, the group was Antrim, Down, Derry, Armagh, Donegal & Tyrone, guessing that the other 3 Ulster Counties are taking no part. Each team played each other, most of the fixtures were in March downredhand (Tyrone) - Posts: 567 - 20/04/2016 16:28:01 1847699 Link 0 |
The exam rule doesn't count for the six counties as our kids have exams from 16 right through (no transition year in the six counties) .....great competition for the 26 counties but our lads will be playing the final stages of this in the midst of their AS and GCSE exams.

So we are in agreement , it's a great competition for lads in the 26 counties that are not sitting exams ? Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 20/04/2016 18:03:06 1847734 Link 0 |

That's a brilliant piece on the Wexford site , fantastic information I'd say any lad involved would love that read, somehow the North managed to get quite a few teams involved , seems some on here we've had a knee jerk reaction wonder if they even be bothered to research the tournament before commenting or maybe they just like a good moan , anyway still a good news story hope it's a success , Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 20/04/2016 20:41:37 1847782 Link 0 |

I'd say there's a lot of merit in the way Wexford seem to be doing it, restricting it to lads from junior and intermediate (initially) and also lads not on their county minor team.. bricktop (Down) - Posts: 2503 - 21/04/2016 09:31:41 1847836 Link 0 |
