After agreement among the Louth Co.Boards Management Committee last Sunday night, they decided to keep this seasons championship fully intact and the same as previous years, but they did decide to change the format of the league.

Tonight the draw was made for division 1 and 2 leagues, where division 1 will now consist of 2 groups (A+B) with 6 teams in each. The division 2 league will take the same format. The winners of A+B will then compete for the league title, but there will be no promotion and no relegation this year.  Division 3, which is already split into two groups (A+B) will continue as it has been but without relegation and promotion. Each team will play 2 league games before the championship starts and the remaining three once it finishes.
