Drogheda United deducted 10 points

A meeting of the Independent Club Licensing committee was convened tonight and they deducted 10 points from Drogheda United FC for being involved in an examinership process as per section 3.1.2 of the club licensing manual. This sanction is effective immediately. The Committee reiterated the fact that it is imperative for all clubs to adhere to sound financial policies.

This is the second club this season to be deducted 10 points for going into examinership as Cork City were also sanctioned. The result of this deduction means Drogheda United slip to 8th position, dropping 4 places. They are however clear of the relegation battle raging between the bottom 4 clubs.
