League secretary Billy O’Flaherty was a guest last week of the IFA at Cooke Rugby Club in Belfast as they officially launched their small sided games programme.

The league have had a recent visit by IFA Staff who are impressed with the way it conducts its business within the Association’s guidelines.

This Saturday is the final week of this year’s competition with six teams competing from Ballymena Youth Academy, Carniny Youth, Star United and Antrim Rovers starting as usual at 2pm on the 3g facility at Ballymena Showgrounds.
