New Fixtures' Secretary to be appointed by MDL
The Meath & District League will have to appoint a new Fixtures' Secretary for the 2013 / 2014 season following the resignation of Pat O'Brien this week.
The matter will be on the agenda for the committee meeting that is scheduled for Tuesday next, 16th July.
Pat O'Brien held the position for nine years, he has also resigned from the MDL committee.
'The MDL would like to acknowledge the positive contribution Pat made to the smooth running of the league over the past nine seasons,' commented MDL PRO Justin Burke.
Separately, the MDL issued the following statement regarding the Premier League.
Dundalk side Rock Celtic have been confirmed as the Nivea for Men Premier Division Champions for the Season 2012-2013 after a long drawn out battle with Duleek AFC.
Duleek played Rock Celtic on Sunday April 28th at the Tollstone and won the match 1-0 but Rock Celtic appealed the result as it appeared Duleek had played suspended player Paul Martin in that game.
The Meath & District League found that Duleek had used an illegal player and awarded the three match points to Rock Celtic.
Duleek then appealed the decision to the Leinster Football Association and subsequently the FAI and both committees upheld the MDL 's decision .
Duleek waved their right to further their appeal to Arbitration which now leaves the League title officially with Rock Celtic and Woodview Celtic now finish runners- up.
Preparations for the new season are well underway at this stage and gradings will completed shortly.
