There’s been changes in the Bodley, so the fixtures have been changed, and there’s early news on the O’Sullivan Cup.
Wicklow and Curragh B have withdrawn from the Bodley, to be replaced by Inchicore and Blanchardstown. The fixtures have been completely re-done, and are here on the site. A slight problem is that there are now only about five free Wednesdays between now and Christmas, meaning the Frank Scott Shield is going to be slightly disjointed! Current dates are also at the above link, and we’re still aiming for round 1 on Wednesday.

There’s pretty much guaranteed to be some drop-outs, but it looks like it’ll be two groups. Our O’Sullivan participation is pending captains (and a link-up Desmond is arranging with a library team). We’ve the players for two teams, so we’ve entered both on the basis that it’s easier to withdraw a team late than enter one late. This competition starts in November, and fixtures will be published when available.
