2016 Féile na nGael Fixture Details & Regulations for Saturday April 16th & Sunday April 17th

Tue, 5th April 2016

I attach the Rules governing Féile na nGael 2016 and the Fixture details for Saturday April 16th & Sunday April 17th.

Managers, as a courtesy, should make contact with the venue coordinator during the week in the lead up to Saturday April 16th.

Please ensure that your Féile team manager and mentors are fully aware of the complete set of rules which are attached.

I highlight a few below:

5.Panels shall consist of a maximum of 24 players. Under NO circumstances may a panel contain more than 24 players and any substitute bench should have no more than 9 players kitted for play.Unlimited substitutions are allowed, but only during a stoppage in play, and with permission of the referee. However each team MUST make a minimum of FOUR substitutions in every game.Teams ignoring this regulation risk forfeiture of the game and removal from the competition.

6.Before the start of the first game, team mentors must hand their official list of (numbered) players to the referee or Venue Co-ordinator, to include each player’s name and date of birth.There can be no deviation from the 24 named players from the start to the finish of the competition.The list should also include the names of the manager and up to three mentors responsible for the team for duration of the competition.Players must retain the number on his jersey throughout all games.Should a team goalkeeper (nominated as Player 1) play as an outfield player he will continue to wear his goalkeeper’s jersey but will wear an over-bib if the No. 1 jersey clashes with the oppositions colours.The substitute goalkeeper must then also wear a bib to distinguish him from his team and oppositions colours.
