Derry City back All-Island League proposal as 'seminal moment'

Derry have cited the uncertainty around Irish football’s feasibility caused by the Covid-19 pandemic as exposing the “fragility of the present model”.

Derry City have branded the proposed All-Island League a "seminal moment", claiming the existing models either side of the border are not viable.

Businessman Kieran Lucid has advocated a new venture whereby clubs operating in the League of Ireland and Irish League will funnel into a stronger competition in the second half of the season, backed by enhanced prize money.
