Play-off between second team in Championship and second-from-bottom side in Division 2B
---
Monivea (Connacht), Skerries (Leinster), Richmond (Munster) and Clogher Valley (Ulster) have made it through to the Round Robin series as a result of winning their respective provincial Junior League titles.
In the All-Ireland Provincial League Championship, the points scoring system will be the same as it is in the Ulster Bank League. The table toppers after the three rounds of games will be promoted directly to Division 2B for next season.
The second-placed team in the Championship will play off against the team that finishes second-from-bottom in Division 2B. Currently Ards are in that position in the table, with Sunday's Well and Sligo just above them.
The Division 2B club that finishes second-from-bottom will have home advantage for the play-off match on Saturday, April 21.
