SFAI Subway Championship 2019/20 set to get underway across Ireland
The SFAI Subway Championship will get underway this weekend, and the 2019/20 competition will see more than 100 teams from 30 leagues across Ireland take part at U12, U13, U15 and U16 levels.
Last season saw schoolboy leagues including Longford, Cavan/Monaghan, South Tipperary, Cork, Carlow JDL and DDSL all claim national titles in both the Championship and Plate.
Like last season, the U13 and U15 competitions will be the first to get underway, and some teams in Munster, Connacht and Leinster begin their journey this Saturday and Sunday.
Games in the Ulster region will begin on the next matchday, scheduled for October, and teams in all four regions will build towards reaching the regional and national finals later in the season.
Although several sides will line out this weekend, many other leagues will kick off their season in the coming weeks – fixtures in full are available on SFAI.ie.
The U12 and U16 competitions will get underway later in the season, and those finals will take place in May.
Subway’s support of schoolboy football continues right across the island of Ireland, and the Subway Championship gives the best performing players from 30 SFAI affiliated schoolboy leagues the opportunity to compete against their rivals, both locally and nationally.
Subway’s support has been crucial to enabling the SFAI to develop its competitions, and we all look forward to working with them throughout the 2019/20 season.
