Dear Sirs,
Firstly, I would like to thank your respective Area Associations for entering the FAW Regions 2013-14. The competition provides an excellent opportunity for grassroots players to play representative football in a National Competition, which has a tremendous prize at the end for the Champions.
I have been asked recently about the details of the forthcoming Competition and subsequently, I attach the revised draft Rules. I will need these approved at the next Meeting of the Domestic Committee which is to be held on Tuesday 22nd January, where we will also make the draw.
The Competition format has already been agreed as follows;
Competition Format
The competition format will be a League system with each Area Association playing the others once during the first season. The fixtures would then be reversed the following season, so each Area Association would play a total of six games in the Competition, over the two seasons.
