1st and last issues Irish clubs in LOI, Irish League

[johnwells]

As a 1st and last in League collector, I include the relevant issues from both sides of the Irish border.

However can anyone advise please if Coagh United, Dergview and H& W Welders have issued since joining the League


Also did Cork United issue under any name , and St. Francis


Have many wants from the 1970 s to date, if anyone can help


Thank you

Cork United 1940 version issued regularly. 1979 version issued during 80/1 season for some games - I often get asked but they definitely didn't issue for the friendly v Man City in 1982 - apparently they were preparing a programme but the printer wanted payment in advance.

I don't know Cork United's first one possibly Alex Ludzic's testimonial and their last was Michael Punch's testimonial. As for league games - they didn't issue v Limerick in September 1980 but started sometime after that. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who could be more specific than that.

St Francis issued pre league and in the league as St. Francis. Can't recall their first league issue but almost certainly their first league game. They were quite prolific.

These clubs would not have had another name apart from St. Francis merging briefly with St Patricks Athletic.

Proposing to merge, but didn't happen in the end
