All county hurling leagues will be introduced, in 2013, at the following age groups

  • U14 (For those clubs who wish to enter)
  • U16 (All clubs)

Football specific

  • The CCC is to endeavour to play Senior and 2nd team games as double headers on as many occasions as possible throughout the All County Football leagues.
  • U 14 and U 16 footballs leagues will be played as divisional leagues with the top 2 in each divisional age group playing off for the County League title.

The following recommendations were carried;

  • Antrim to explore and maximise all opportunities to participate in Leinster Hurling Competitions at all levels.
  • Clubs will not be asked to play a league game in another code 4 days prior to playing a championship game in another code.

( ie playing a football game prior to a Hurling Championship game or vice versa – BUT they can still play a league game in the same code prior to a championship game in the same code
