Shock for NEFL as Navan Cosmos withdraw

Navan Cosmos announced this morning that they will not participate in the North East Football League this season only a week after the gradings for 2017 / 2018 were announced.

Cosmos had a scheduled game against Kentstown Rovers in the KIlmessan Shield next week, but that game will not now go ahead.

NAVAN COSMOS STATEMENT

It is with great regret Navan Cosmos FC announces it will not be entering any senior teams in the NEFL this coming season 2017/18.

After a period of unprecedented success for our club in previous seasons, in the past weeks we have explored multiple options and alternatives which would allow us to participate at senior level but unfortunately it is now with a heavy heart we've arrived at this difficult decision.

We are now putting 100 per cent focus on our 17 under-age teams plus academy and we will reassess our position regarding senior teams towards the end of the 2017/18 Season.

Thanks to the NEFL and committee for all its support & help in the past years and we wish the League  itself continued success for the future.
