Players welcome new Ladies League format

THE revamped format for the Ladies Football National League has been welcomed by players, managers and officials, all of whom are hoping that the changes will usher in a more competitive era.

The Bord Gáis sponsored competition had consisted of three divisions, each divided into two sections (A and B) featuring four divisions with eight teams, all of whom will face one another.

Quarter-finals have been abolished with the top four counties from each division proceeding to their grade’s respective semi-finals. Association president Pat Quill believes the alterations will prove to be a huge success.
