As stated above qualification is through the Provincial Championships and as Dublin is a separate Province for Juvenile Competition the hosting of our Championships are dependent upon,

1)      Easing of restrictions/numbers permitted outdoors

2)      Approval of Venues by Local Authorities

3)      Subject to Government Guidelines at the time of the event.

1.       Provisional dates for our Championships are – Even Ages – Sunday 18th October & Uneven Ages Sunday 1st November. However, considering the closing dates for Nationals we might be in a position to move to a later date, if possible.
