Ulster A’s schedule for, what I believe is, the third iteration of the Celtic Cup were announced earlier this week.
Thankfully last years rushed iteration 2.0, and its disastrous Irish and Welsh conferences, has been dispensed with and the competition is now a straightforward league with the two highest ranked sides going through to a play off – though the teams only play each other once, either home or away.
With the Irish sides, and Ulster in particular, drawing heavily on AIL players last season, some of the clubs will not be happy that the league fixtures are scheduled to finish on 4th October, the day before the first round of the AIL. The final is scheduled for 12 October, another weekend crammed full of AIL matches.
