The 2008 League of Ireland season will be remembered as a year of financial trouble and strife within the domestic game, with off-field financial woes such as examinership, player wages, point deductions and betting scandals just a number of negative issues this season that has led to many people believing that the League itself is in danger of ceasing to exist beyond the current campaign.

Amid all of the doom and gloom however, was the one real success story of the year that literally brightened up the domestic game – Wexford Youths FC. The amateur club with a squad comprised solely of players hailing from the county, had a major impact on the League in only their second season competing in senior football and firmly dispelled the belief that anyone may have had about an amateur side not contributing anything to the eircom League.
