League meeting ponders summer soccer and foreign refs

An Eircom League board of control meeting this evening will probe the issue of summer soccer and the radical suggestion from Shelbourne manager Dermot Keely to fly referees in from the UK to officiate Irish matches.

Several top names are for the seasonal change, with Bohemians, Finn Harps, Kilkenny City and Shamrock Rovers likely to vote for the switch to the warmer months.
