The draw for next seasons Setanta Sports Cup(2009/10)has been cancelled by both the IFA and the FAI. The new tournament was set to include nine sides from both associations was meant to be drawn on Thursday 25th of June.
The Football Association of Ireland and The Irish Football Association have both made the decision together with Setanta and the clubs to postpone the draw indefinitely. It is another major blow for the station who have already lost Premier League rights for net season and have been unable to pay the SPL for last seasons T.V. coverage.
Taken from www.elevenaside.com a joint statement from both Associations said
"This draw has been postponed at the request of Setanta Sports to give the company an opportunity to gain clarity around a number of market related issues it currently faces.
"In the interim, a meeting has been arranged with participating clubs in Dublin on the afternoon of June 25th."
