What are the Leagues?

Team competitions suitable for adults and strong juniors.
Teams of 5, 6 or 8 players.
Matches from 7:15pm (Div 1 - 3) / 7:30pm (Div 4 - 6) until late. Saturday matches start 2:30pm.

Home matches on club nights (Tuesdays), away matches on the away team club night. Some matches on Saturdays for distant clubs.
Leagues from late September until Easter. 11 rounds in most divisions.
Knockout Cups after that until June. 3-5 rounds.
Selection for teams based on Skerries and ICU ratings, not on age.
Players pay €10 towards the cost of ICU membership, which also entitles individuals to play in ICU run tournaments.
