		The date of April 29th 1995 was the significant day when Irish League football turned its back on the closed shop sixteen-team format that the Irish Football League had operated for over a hundred years.
		The situation that the Irish League hadn't reckoned on though, was the possibility that to win the game might not always be in a club's best interests.
		Ards were the side in form, Premier League football already in the bag and they had recently beaten Bangor in the semi-finals of the League Cup, so when Paul Cullen gave Ards a first half lead, it wasn't entirely unexpected.

		Football in Northern Ireland is set for a major government funding boost - provided the proposed plans for the game's future are put in place sooner rather than later.
		But while Northern Ireland sports minister Angela Smith confirmed that €4.5m would be available forthwith, the other €7.5m is dependent on the formation of a single governing body to run football in the province.
		That was scheduled to happen next year after the Irish Football Association (IFA) backed proposals that would effectively see the IFA subsume the Irish Football League - a body created as far back as 1890 - and form a 17-member Executive Committee to run the game, headed by IFA president Jim Boyce.

		The ILFSG are shocked and disgusted by the news of mindless damage caused to the playing surface at Stangmore Park, the home of Carnegie Premier League club Dungannon Swifts.
		The Swifts are a progressive Club who have worked hard to develop their facilities, and were able to boast one of the finest playing surfaces in Irish League football, winning the "Groundsman Of The Year" award only last season.
		It is sad that some people have such contempt for their local area, and facilities at the heart of it, that they can commit such an act.
