No promotion or relegation for Eircom League clubs

Eircom League clubs meeting tonight have voted to join the new FAI National League, starting next season.

The decision will see promotion and relegation ended for this season with all clubs forced to apply for membership of the new FAI League. The FAI will then put clubs in the ‘Premiership’ and First Division, based on both on and off the field criteria.

Dublin City were the only club to vote against the proposal. There was one abstention and another two clubs did not attend the meeting.
