Both the Plains & Border Counties are now run at different times to when they used to previously. The Borders was mid March, and the Plains for years was mid/late September, since 2009?? it moved to it's current slot. Obviously, forestry allocation may be the reason, but I regularly wonder just how much communication there is between organising teams.

Events/ championship are all competing for entrants, and there needs to be a way to facilitate all these events to run. Losing events is doing the clubs, or the sport no good at all.

Funny that you mention the North Wales & Plains, as back in the day, they used similar forests about a month apart in the autumn, when the North Wales was called the Bulldog.......
