The GAA’s Higher Education committee has confirmed there will be third-level league competitions beginning next month, but they are to be organised on a regional basis and there will be no knockout stages.

At the recent AGM of the GAA’s Higher Education body, it was decided to run league competitions on a regional basis across a six-week period from mid-October to late November.
