There will be a transfer window between 8th Dec 2013 to the 6th January 2014 This will allow players who haven’t play in Junior Qualifying League Rugby or Provincial Junior Cup competitions to apply for transfer during this period All transfers are subject criteria set out on the Connacht Branch Competition Regulations
