Munster League:
so I asked Sean Mullins (organiser of Kilaloe and Munster League) what the story was with the league and this was his reply:
5 nights of Polo. 3 games per night, 500 euro entry fee. Competition starts in October and finishes in February.
We run the competition on Saturday nights once a month. The competition format is a league, points won on wins and so on. You may play every team twice, depending on how many team entered.
These are proposed dates NOT CONFIRMED DATES for the league

Personally i was well up for it until i saw the price :/
so excluding that little problem would people be interested? im sure we could try haggle a lower student price...
Galway Polo League:
the venue is Leisureland Swimming Pool (25m x 15m ). It's large enough to play 5 a-side.
The plan is to have 2 divisions of 5 teams, div 2 and div 3 standard, with everyone playing each other twice. That's 8 games for each team.
The league will be run on Saturday evenings from 8:30pm to 11:00pm twice a month with a total of 11 nights. For travelling teams we will try to have games only once a month with more games on one night.
There would be 6 nights before Christmas and 5 afterwards starting 6th Oct. Cost per team is €325 with an additional €25 deposit which will be refunded at the end of the year if your team turns up for all of their matches. Places will be assigned on a first paid first served basis.
A full timetable for the league will be available one week prior to the start of the league so that changes can be made if necessary.
So! what do people think of doing an "away" league this semester?
