These will be organised locally in each county to watch out for the local arrangements. There will be one winner per county, except in cases where there are more than 50 clubs in that county. In this instance, two county contestants will qualify for the Regional Final. A county competition will be organised in each county as a stand-alone county event or will be organised as part of another event taking place in the county.
