The fourth Annual Invitation seven-a-side ladies football competition
will be held in Castlewellan on Saturday 2nd August 2003. The May Steele Perpetual
Cup has been donated for the competition by the Steele family in honour of their
mother May who was the founder and President of ladies football in Castlewellan
as well as being a life long Gael and tireless worker for the St Malachy's Club.
Last year 18 teams from Ulster and further a field took
part in this prestigious competition. This year 22 teams have entered and the
teams will be divided into groups of four teams that will play-off on a league
basis at four venues in Castlewellan and Annsborough thus guaranteeing each participating
team a minimum of 3 games. The group winners and runners-up will then play the
final stages of the competition in St Malachy's Park on a knockout basis.
