This season 6 teams have been invited to enter and the organisers have decided to schedule the opening series of games on a round robin basis. This will ensure each team will play at least two games in the tournament.
The draw was made by Mr Phillip Gregg, President of the Ulster Branch assisted by Brian Irwin, Chairman of the Sponsors, Irwin's Bakery.
