3. Before completing your account setup, you will need to verify your email address by clicking on the link in the email sent to the address provided in step 2.

4. After verifying your email, you will then be redirected back to Foireann where you will see your profile page which is, at this stage, still incomplete. 

5. All you need to do here is work through your profile page, from top to bottom, filling in all the details you are happy to provide

6. The last, and possibly most important thing you need to do on your profile is add the relevant 'Club' or in your case, School. To do this, click on the "Add Club" button and then from the dropdown menus that appear, set...
