It is hoped that schools will be able to play a full block of fixtures based on the Group Stages Draw.
The six group winners and four best placed runners-up from the group stages will qualify for the knockout stages of the Schools’ Cup and Subsidiary Shield, where they will be joined by the six Tier 1 teams (Ballymena Academy, Campbell College Belfast, Methodist College Belfast, Royal Belfast Academical Institution, Sullivan Upper School and Wallace High School). The remaining teams will then enter into a knockout competition for the Schools’ Trophy and Schools’ Bowl.
