Rovers were one of the most vociferous critics of the National League Executive Committee’s decision to resume the Airtricity League under the existing format on July 31.
Along with eight other clubs in the 10-strong top flight, the Bit O’ Red have been frustrated in their efforts to prevent a relegation play-off for the ninth placed Premier Division club.
The FAI board ratified the NLEC decision on Thursday and
FORMER Ireland striker Daryl Murphy is due to return to hometown club Waterford ahead of the league’s resumption on July 31.
The veteran was last week released from
Bolton Wanderers, bringing to a close a spell across the water that saw him hit 111 goals in 481 games.
Murphy (inset) featured in both the Premier League and Championship for Sunderland, clinched the second tier’s
Golden Boot in 2015 for Ipswich Town, and won 33 caps for Ireland, among them starts against Italy and France at Euro 2016.
