Galway FA O35s rules 2021
- O35s for 2021 will be exclusively for players who are not registered on FAInet for the current winter season 2020-2021
- Players must register on FAINet and provide photo ID if they are a first issue.
- No transfers can be allowed, since Covid has made transfers unworkable.
- Matches are mid-week, every week, normally Wednesdays.
- Roll-on, roll-off, unlimited substitutions, 45 minutes a side.
- Both teams come to an agreement for every group game, as long as they are played that week.
- Referee will be appointed for all games.
- Home teams pay for referee, fee is €50 per game.
- Clubs need to arrange their own insurance for players.
FYI: This is the eight year of O35s in Galway. Last year in Feb-20, we had 18 teams entered across 2 divisions; which was destroyed due to Covid. We were able to run a much smaller league with 5 teams that started in July and finished in Sept with a final in EDP.
Covid influence 2021
- Covid has a major influence on what we can do this year for O35s.
- Transfer periods unfortunately do not allow Junior players to take part in O35s for 2021.
- Therefore, O35s for 2021 will be exclusively for players who are not registered on FAInet for the current winter season 2020-2021.
- Junior football for winter season must finish by July 18th as per FAI directive, which means that O35s can start the week commencing 19th July 2021.
