Start Date

  • Start Date: Tue 13th May (we must allow the winter leagues to finish first - i.e., although the O35s/O42s players are eager to start, we have to patiently wait for facilities and referees to be available.

Default KO Days

Default KO Days (Mens) - these can be changed week-by-week, 7-day rule by agreement of both clubs

  1. Tue = O42 Premier and O35 Premier
  2. Wed = O35 Division 1
  3. Thu = O35 Division 2

Womens O35s

We will have a meeting with the 6 clubs interested in Womens O35s to work out the format and structure that will get that league up and running in Year 1.

This is championed by GFA chairman Kevin O'Neill. We believe we will be the first league in the country to run O35s for Women.

No more Junior registered players

We are giving formal notice that next season 2025-2026, "no junior players who have registered junior regardless of age can play O35s and O43s".

We are focusing on recreational players.

For this season, we will allow O42 registered junior players to play in the O35/O42 leagues; this is the last year.

We will have 2 groups for O42s, we might do an open for this, we will let you know asap.

It is our intention to move the age up to O43 next year and settle on O45 in 3 years time.

 

Yours in Football,
