Fair Play to Bohs and UCD
Credit:
The Football Association of Ireland have announced the final Fair Play League final placing for 2009. League of Ireland, Premier Division champions, Bohemians scooped the Premier Division award while Shamrock Rovers finished as runners-up. In the League of Ireland 1st Division, U.C.D finished on top of the Fair Play League with Galway’s Mervue United finishing in second place.
The respective divisional winners will each receive prize money of €4,500 with the respective runners-up receiving prize money of €2,000.
In its efforts to promote fair play, UEFA award three extra places in the 1st qualifying round of the Europa League to the domestic Fair Play winners from the top three Associations in the UEFA Fair Play League which will be published in May 2010.
Should Ireland finish in the top three places of the UEFA Fair Play League, due to the fact that Bohemians and Shamrock Rovers will be already representing the League of Ireland in UEFA competitions next year; the remaining place will go to the highest placed team in the Fair Play League. As Drogheda United and Galway United finish tied for third in the Fair Play League on 1093 points, a drawing of lots would have to take place to decide which team would advance to the Europa League, 1st qualifying round.
