The competition itself has been designed in group format with the locals drawn against three Scottish teams playing each other once in a league basis. The football kicks off with Dromore having two games on the Friday and the remaining game on Saturday morning.

Once the groups are decided the teams will then play in a shield or cup semi final on Sunday and all being well they will compete in the final on Monday morning.

The club have also put an exciting itinerary together for the party and have arranged ten pin bowling on Friday evening, an excursion to Blackpool pleasure beach on Saturday afternoon and on Sunday they will attend the Sky live premiership match between Everton and West Ham at Goodison Park.

Then on Monday the plan is to end with a tour of Preston North End’s Deepdale Stadium and famous Football Museum before travelling home.
