Europe boost for four Irish clubs

AIRTRICITY LEAGUE clubs go into the Champions League and Europa League draws next month with the most favourable odds in the history of Irish participation on the European stage.

Ireland’s representatives in Europe will be Airtricity League champions Shamrock Rovers, FAI Ford Cup holders Sligo Rovers, Bohemians and St Pat’s.

As a result of FK Borac Banja Luka winning the League title in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Shamrock Rovers will be seeded in the draw for the second qualifying round of the Champions League.
