FIRA Fixtures for 2003/04

Seniors championship divided into six sections
FIRA-AER have announced their fixtures for 2004 in their Seniors championship, which is divided into six sections.

There is no promotion at the end of this season but withdrawal had led to movement.

Andorra, who withdrew during the season past, and Monaco, who were in trouble for playing ineligible players, are no longer in competition. Malta who started only two seasons ago and were promoted at the end of their first season have again been promoting, moving up in place of Andorra.
