St Pat's release nine players

St Patrick's Athletic have released nine players from their squad, including Alan Kirby, Glen Fitzpatrick and Gary O'Neill. The majority of eircom League clubs will be operating with reduced finances in the 2009 season and Pat's have moved quickly to trim back their playing staff.

Lance Friezs, John Frost, Stephen Brennan, Stephen Paisley, Jaraslow Bialek and Dave Rogers are the other players that have been let go. All of the departing players were out of contract.

I'm surprised! I thought Kirby, O'Neill and Paisley are actually important players for St. Pats. Hard decision that they don't get a new contract.

Kirby has been released? :eek: We'll happily have him back.

Hands off! :D

O'neill had signed a pre contract with Bohs. Constantly injured too

Kirby has only played when others have been absebt this year so isn't too big a deal

Paisley was offered a new deal (reduced wages) and turned it down.
