Irish League .... you should ask on some of their boards ... they will be more familar. Most of the users here will only know about the National League (League of Ireland) ... unless some of the lads from Derry could help you out !!

Pretty much same as Irish league although third place up here doen't always take up their Intertoto place. Linfield refused it last year so Omagh Town took it.

Why would a team refuse a place in the intertoto?

Linfield did not see it as worthwhile and felt it was wrong to have their players playing competitive games in June although I think the poor draw may also have had something to do with it.
