Cork City and UCD have topped the 2004 eircom League Fair Play League for the Premier and First Division, announced today.
In the Premier Division, Cork City topped the table with 1,195 points with Drogheda United second on 1,187 points. In the First Division, UCD came first with 1,107 points while Finn Harps were second with 1,083 points.
Cork City will receive €4,500 in prize money while Drogheda United will receive €1,900. In the First Division, UCD will receive €2,500 while Finn Harps will receive €1,300.
Each year, three teams qualify for the First Qualifying Round of the UEFA Cup by way of the Fair Play competition. The representative team of the national association that tops the UEFA Fair Play competition automatically receives a place and a further two teams are drawn from those Associations whose fair play co-efficient equals or exceeds 8.00.
The winners of the eircom League Premier Division Fair Play League are entitled to, at a minimum, represent the Republic of Ireland in that UEFA fair play draw for one of the places on offer in the First Qualifying Round of the UEFA Cup should the Republic of Ireland's fair play co-efficient be equal to or greater than 8.00.
However, if the Republic of Ireland top the UEFA Fair Play table then its representatives will automatically receive a place in the First Qualifying Round of the UEFA Cup.
As Cork City have already qualified for that stage of the competition as a result of their second-place finish in the Premier Division in 2004, Drogheda United will be the Republic of Ireland's nomination for either the automatic place in the UEFA Cup or in the draw next year should the criteria as outlined above be fulfilled.

First Division Champions
Alan Murphy on his own destroyed any fair play league 'hopes' we might have had..So the Drogs could end up in Europe yet
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
at least we won something
No surprises we're bottom:- we had an incredible 13 players sent-off in 33 league games this season. Some of the sendings-off were plain ridiculous, absolutely unbelievable. It is hard not to feel discriminated against - it's easier for a referee to make a decision against a small club not in the spotlight. moan moan

Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Yes, but it almost always is. I think the international score - which is what counts for getting clubs into Europe - is based a lot on international games, not league games (though European games may have an effect). When was the last time Ireland had a player sent off? (Gary Kelly v. Holland in 2001? Anything more recent?). Well-behaved fans and officials; may come down on attacking football, but we're usually near the top. I think you can follow it on UEFA.com or somewhere.Originally Posted by sduffy
Nice to see the two league losers - Cork and UCD - winning something! Not that it makes up for it mind...!
It's a good job the Under 21 Final did not count for Fair Play then
