AIB League winners to be rewarded with trip to France for tournament

THIS season’s AIB League winners will be rewarded with an all expenses paid trip to France to coincide with the World Cup next season.

The play-off champions will be entered as Ireland’s representative in the Languedoc-Roussillon tournament, an initiative taken by that region to celebrate the hosting of the World Cup.

The event will take place between September 3 and 15 next season and will involve six teams. These will include amateur representative club sides from the Languedoc-Roussillon region itself, Ireland, Tucuman (Argentina), Romania, Catalonia (Spain) and Cambridge University.
