here are 12 teams in the competition and they will be divided into 2 groups of 6. Once the group games have been completed the teams will be divided into 3 further groups. Teams coming 1st or 2nd in their respective pool will qualify for the main competition and go through to the semi final. At this stage the winner of Group 1 will play the runner up of Group 2 leaving the runner up of Group 1 to play the winner of Group 2. The 2 winners of these matches will play in the final for the 6 a-side title. The teams who came 3rd and 4th in their group will play a semi final in the same format as the main competition to reach the final of the plate. The teams who come 5th and 6th in their group will play a semi final in the same format as the main competition to reach the final of the bowl final. With this format all teams will play a minimum of 6 games.

Prizes in the form of a trophy for the main competition and a plate and a bowl for the other competitions plus various individual prizes will be awarded at the Pavilion at 5.15pm.
