Recommendations for 2004 AGM:
(Below are recommendations received from Club’s)
Kilmacud Crokes:
- That the U14, U16 and U18 Leinster Championship be played on a knock out basis.
- That a player who plays for her own club at under age level shall not be allowed to register for another club to play at a different age group.
- That all 45’s from juvenile through to senior may be taken from the hand or from the ground.
- In order to assist in over coming the stress of Dublin traffic and the race against the clock / light in the early part of the season and the effect that both could have on the eventual outcome of the football league, we propose that the adult football leagues do not commence until the fourth week of the season and that the first three fixtures are scheduled as cup matches only.
St Annes:
- That games be played throughout the summer at juvenile level.
- That the committee strive to have eight teams in each division and play double round league at juvenile level
- That any player who is regraded may not be regraded the following season.
St Brigids:
- That the Dublin ladies football County Board coordinate with the Camogie Board when setting fixtures particularly championship matches in order to avoid clashes.
Foxrock Girls:
- That the registration period be coordinated with the season Ie: Jan 1st to Dec 31st.
- That all registrations be changed to an electronic system (email / excel) or even excel hard copy.
