The OMHA has announced league changes for the upcoming
season.
The biggest change is that both our A and B teams will
now compete in Southern Counties as our home league. However; interlock games will also be scheduled as part of the season with both Shamrock
and Alliance teams offering more games and increased competitive play
throughout the season. This adjustment allows both Southern Counties and
Shamrock to each receive a spot at the OMHA Championship, rather than sharing a
single spot for all of Shamrock.
What does this mean for our players?It means more diverse competition and exciting matchups, with our A teams getting the chance to play against local A/AA-level teams next season. This change adds variety without adding much travel. U11B and U13B teams in Southern Counties will also benefit, taking part in interlock games with nearby Alliance U11BB and U13BB teams.

Southern Counties A League
