The Irish Independent has learned that top eircom League sides have been involved in secret talks with counterparts in the North and with the backing of significant third party encouragement in the hope of bringing the project to fruition.

The popularity of Nintendo’s Wii console has boosted sales at Game Group, but the company fears it will not be able to satisfy demand this Christmas.
