Manortown United Mini Leagues are starting on Saturday July 3rd 2021

Registration for the leagues must be in by Monday June 28th.

Registration fees 20 euro

Only players born from 2007 to 2015 are eligible to play

Draw for teams will be up on the website and face-book on Wed June 30th

The matches will be played over 8 days, finishing on Sat July 10th.

Start times are as follows. Sat and Sun 12am, Mon, Tues Wed and Thurs 6-30pm

Fri 5-30pm. Finals day (Sat July 10th) starts at 12am.

There will be four categories with six teams in each, U8’s, U10’s, U12’s and u14’s.

These categories may have to be revised depending on the numbers we receive for each section. We won’t know this until all kids are registered.

The teams will be mixed (boys and girls). Non Manortown players are also welcome but must specify what club and what league they play in.

Matches will be predominantly 6-a-side but when it suits 7-a-side or 5-a-side may be played.

For the draw of teams we will try to grade every player into 3 grades. So for a 6-a-side team we will try to ensure that every team has 2 grade 1 players, 2 grade 2 players and 2 grade 3 players. Players will not be aware of what grade they have been allocated. All names drawn randomly.

Each match will be 24 minutes (12 minutes each way).

Each team will play at least 5 matches during the week and first weekend.

The two top teams in each group will play in the cup final on Sat July 10th.

The third and fourth placed teams will play in the shield final same day.

Fifth and sixth placed teams will be eliminated.

All players will receive a jersey to keep, in the colours of their team and must wear them for every game.

More rules of the competition will be published before it starts.

If you are not computer friendly and would rather register the old way, we will be registering players at the Manortown dressing rooms on Sat June 26th from 12am to 1pm, where you can fill out a form and pay the entry fee.

Best of luck to all participants.
