Head of Regional Pathway and Game Development, Neil Graham said: “We’re excited about getting our regional fixtures underway off the back of some excellent school and youth conference and cup competitions before Christmas. It represents a new challenge for many of our players as they move up the age grades.
“Players have been working hard in their regions to prepare themselves in the best way possible and are raring to go.
“Our thanks go to all the coaches, medics, parents and volunteers who have support the players and programmes to get to this point.”
