ALL,
before telling about the suspension of the senior league, let me remind you one important thing!

Two Clubs haven't registered anybody yet!! Lughnasa F and Dublin International have 0 (zero) players registered.
Let me stress one point. It is not only that I want a record of all players, but the IOHA insurance will cover only the registered players. Do not rely on last year registration as we have a seasonal membership, so last year membership is expired! If you are not registered for the season 2008/2009, you are not insured!! IOHA will not permit to any not-insured players to play in any IOHA competition. Most of you have access to the list of registered players on google documents.
Same apply to all junior players.

League suspension.
After the dark facts of the tri-nation (I wasn't there, I heard the two bells and only feeling I got is that it wasn't pleasant for anybody) the IOHA decided that players and all stakeolder must sign a code of conduct. Certain behaviours are not acceptable. IOHA understand that improvement must be achieved in many areas (such as refereeing/officials.) and will try to focus on these needs, but despite this, in a sport environment (expecially one with a small population like ours), unrespectful and violent behaviour is totally unjustified and not acceptable.
So, the board set up a working group which has the task to prepare the code of conduct that all IOHA members will be required to sign. Understanding that the league schedule preparation is full of limitations (hall availability and time) the working group will try to work on a resonable short timeframe and resume the league after Nov 8th.
