Abbey Fanning Memorial 7 A Side Competition Press Release

Proceedings will begin at Gavan Duffy Park, Rooskey on Saturday the 13th of June at 10:00a.m.

We are hoping to achieve the full quota of 16 teams in the competition this year.

Any teams wishing to participate please contact Jennifer Treanor on 086 8773447 or Allison Treanor on 087 9549339, as soon as possible as places in this competition are on a first come first served basis.

Ten players only are permitted on each panel, to be named at registration on the morning of the 13th of June. Following the initial round robin games, the top 2 teams in each group will enter into the cup competition and the bottom 2 teams will enter the shield competition. Therefore every team who enters is guaranteed a minimum of 4 games, prior to the knock out quarter final stages, if the full quota of 16 teams is reached.

Each referee will select a player of the match for each game played on the day. These results will be collected following each game. The player with the highest number of votes will receive the cup and shield players of the tournament. Dearbhla McMaster of Glen won the last Shield Player of the Tournament in 2007 and Amanda Casey of Donaghmoyne won the last Cup Player of the Tournament in 2007.

2007 Cup Winners Donaghmoyne and Shield Winners Glen of Derry will be hoping to be in the title race again this year but there are 14 other teams who on the day could take home some silverware.

Best of luck to all teams participating on what should be a great day and remember reply early to avoid disappointment.
