City of Belfast this weekend
The below is taken from Brendan Jamisons Email - thanks Brendan.
We are up to 28 entrants for this weekend’s tournament so it promises to be lots of fun. Round 1 starts at 10am but we’ve just received word that there will be road closures affecting access to the venue from the normal entrance on the Newtownards Road. Please scroll down to see instructions from Ciaran Duffy, Facilities Officer at NICSSA Sport & Leisure.
