London ladies pull out of football league due to cash problem

LONDON have been forced to withdraw from the upcoming National Football Ladies League due to crippling debts that mean they cannot finance trips to and from Ireland.

Despite their historic All-Ireland Ladies JFC success last year, the Exiles are currently around £34,000 in the red and the worsening economic climate means they are unable to locate sponsors to help redress the situation.

London ladies chairperson Jackie McCowen, who was elected at last Saturday’s AGM, believes that they had no other choice but to withdraw and declared the decision “an awful one to make.”
