Hope this is in the right section.

The first event kicks off this day week, a good few English based players travelled to Castlebar last year including Neil Channing and were hoping for a similar invasion this time round.

Most likely it will be in the Limerick/Clare region, there is already a lot on in Killarney but I would not rule it out.
