Dublin City withdraws from Eircom league
DUBLIN, July 20 (SW) - Dublin City FC have stopped trading and have now decided to exit Irelands Eircom League.
The club only started life in the Irish Premier league this season and were sitting in 9th place when the decision to quit the league was taken.
Club chairman Ronan Seery explained the clubs situation in a statement which said, "Due to ongoing difficulties, our continued existence within the Eircom League simply became untenable and while extremely difficult to make, it is the most prudent and honourable decision and course of action to take.
"To those investors and sponsors, the players and the loyal core of Vikings fans, I thank you for your unstinting efforts on behalf of the club, " Seery added.
All games played by Dublin have been removed from the league table, so the revised standings leaves former leaders Cork City in fourth place, whilst Drogheda United replace them in the top position.
