Cobh Ramblers Return To League Of Ireland
The FAI have announced that Cobh Ramblers has been awarded a licence by the Independent Club Licencing Committee to compete in the 2013 Airtricity League First Division. The return of the Co Cork club is a welcome development for the Airtricity League after they failed to meet the first division criteria on previous occasions. The decision paves the way for an eight team Airtricity League First Division subject to licences being issued when the committee meet again in mid-February after the January 30 deadline for final financial submissions from other clubs. As a new applicant, Cobh Ramblers requested an early decision in their case. This was to facilitate the registration of players prior to the January 31 amateur transfer window deadline in the event of a successful application. We spoke to football writer with League of Ireland website www.extratime.ie , Alan Smith, about the story. (Click play button above to hear the audio)
