The Kerry Schoolboys Girls clubs were delighted to get back training over the last weeks and now for the first time the Underage League in the county is running a series of summer competitions.
The KSBGL normally plays its football during the standard season, September to May, but with players missing so much time on the field it was decided to send out for expressions of interest to the clubs and were delighted to see the number of teams who will now play in a summer competition that will run until mid-July with the 2021-2022 season then kicking off as normal in late August.
There will be a Cup, Shield and Plate Competitions with 16 teams in both the 11’s, 20 teams in the 12’s, 24 teams in the 13’s competitions, 21 in the 14’s, 16 in the 15’s and 10 teams in the u16’s Cup.
The Girls game is probably the fastest growing section in any sport in Kerry. For their summer competitions they will run at 11’s, 12’s, 13’s, 15’s and 16’s.
There are 15 teams in the 11’s who will play in a number of Blitzes, 9 teams in the 12’s, 8 in the 13’s, 10 in the 15’s and 6 in the 16’s.
The MC will also run a number of non- trophy days for the ages under 11’s where huge numbers are involved in club all over the county.
The KSBGL Summer Competitions kick off on Bank Holiday Monday with games in the 11’s, 14’s and 16’s with the 12’s playing in mid-week and the other ages groups getting their competitions underway on Saturday 17th.
