Drogheda to appeal points deduction

DROGHEDA UNITED confirmed yesterday they will be appealing their 10-point deduction for entering the examinership process.

The sanction was imposed on Monday evening by the Independent Club Licensing Committee, thereby ruining their remote chances of a European place and the more likely reward of qualification for next season’s Setanta Cup.

The club reiterated yesterday that it “feels that it (has) a unique case and as such, it should be judged on its own merits”.
