The IAFA is now opening applications for the 2015 season for all divisions of senior kitted football. All teams, both existing and new, seeking to play kitted football in Ireland in 2015 must submitt a completed application form by Monday 6th October. Face to face workshop style meetings with all applicants will be scheduled to take place soon after this deadline.
The Shamrock Bowl Conference (SBC) and IAFL1 are expected to run as previously outlined, though IAFL1 is being expanded to include those teams who played IAFL2 football in 2014 who are ready to step up a level. In response to increasing club sizes, the application form now includes a provision that bigger clubs can now field multiple teams in different divisions e.g. in both the SBC and IAFL2.
Groups who are thinking of setting up a new club should start engaging with the IAFA as soon as possible so that they can be given advice on how to get going and be guided through the application process. Once the October 6th deadline has passed, the IAFA will no longer accept applications for 2015, so it is important for such clubs to apply before this date even if they are unsure as to whether or not they will be able to play next season.
All existing clubs have already been forwarded application forms by email. Copies of the 2015 application form can be downloaded at the following link:
