Longford fail to earn licence
Longford Town have failed to gain an FAI Club Licence for the Premier Division and could face relegation to the First Division.
A short statement released by Longford read: “Longford Town FC would like to confirm that our appeal of the First Instance Club Licensing Committee decision has been unsuccessful.
“We are addressing the areas of concern and hope to have this completed in the next week. We would like to thank Bob Breen and his staff for their assistance to date.”
If the club do not satisfy the Appeals Committee by next week, they could face relegation from the First Division in line with guidelines in the FAI Club Licensing Manual.
Meanwhile, Dublin City failed to gain a First Division licence though club secretary Ronan Seery revealed that he was confident that they will receive a licence next week.
He said: “We failed because we have furnished the FAI with one document. We have been given a week to get it and we’re just waiting on it to arrive.”
Cork City, Shelbourne, St Patrick’s Athletic, UCD, Bray Wanderers, Finn Harps and Drogheda United have all confirmed they have gained Premier Division Licences.
