"The Town" joins Leinster Senior League

Dún Laoghaire Town FC will have two teams competing in the Leinster Senior League this year in Divisions 3 and 3A. It was agreed that our "A" Squad under Japo Kelly would play in Division 3 with the "B" Squad under Abrahim Abdul-Wahid competing in Division 3A. This is certainly an exciting and challenging time for the Club as it was always the intention of the Club founders, Ian and Abrahim, to one day have our teams playing in the Leinster Senior League. It appears that most of the matches will be played in the Greater Dublin Region and, of course, on our home pitch at Shanganagh on Saturdays. The organisers of the League have assured the Club that there will be no clashes of match schedules for Dún Laoghaire Town's teams between the two Divisions of the League. The League Tables and the match fixtures will be posted on the website of Leinster Senior League at http://www.lsl.ie/ for further information contact Japo Kelly on 087 959 1216 or Abrahim Abdul-Wahid on 086 120 6666.

DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES OF THE CLUB

DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES OF THE CLUB

(Extract from the Board’s Standing Orders adopted 2002)

SO. 5. ix A Select Committee established to deal with a disciplinary matter shall be cited as a “Disciplinary Committee” and shall have the following Standing Orders.

a. Details of all charges against a player or member and a copy of the Standing Orders of the Disciplinary Committee shall be delivered in writing to the person concerned not less than two days prior to the meeting of the Disciplinary Committee at which the charges are to be heard.

b. The proceedings shall commence with the recording of the names of all in attendance and a reading of the charges against the player or member and a citation by the Chairperson of the Bye Laws or articles of the “Code of Conduct” that it is alleged the person transgressed.

c. The person appearing before the Disciplinary Committee shall be entitled to deliver in their defence only such matters that address specifically the charges against him/her and therefore, no counter charges shall be admissible by the Chairperson.

d. A person appearing before the Disciplinary Committee shall be entitled to appoint an advocate to present his/her case and/or to offer advice.

e. The Disciplinary Committee and any person appearing before it may call on up to three persons to offer testimony on any matter or to assist the inquiry.

f. The Disciplinary Committee shall be expeditious in the deliverance of any decision, however, it may defer or adjourn proceedings to allow for further inquiries into the matters before it.

g. Player Directors and nominees of any external bodies shall be deemed ineligible for membership of any Disciplinary Committee.

h. Should matters for consideration by any Disciplinary Committee directly involve a member of the Board and/or Executive Committee, that person shall discharge themselves from membership of the Disciplinary Committee dealing with the matter.

i. A presumption of innocence is the right of all appearing before a Disciplinary Committee and therefore, it shall be the duty of the Chairperson of the Disciplinary Committee to ensure the fairness, thoroughness and propriety of all proceedings.

j. No new charges may be put to a person by the Disciplinary Committee, however, it may amend or strike out such charges as cited at the commencement of proceedings either on the delivery of its decision or in the course of the hearing.

k. Decisions on any matter before the Disciplinary Committee must be delivered in reference to specific breaches of Bye-Laws or articles of the “Code of Conduct” as alleged on the commencement of proceedings.

l. All matters before a Disciplinary Committee must be considered on their own merit without reference to any alleged possibility of future transgression by the person appearing before the Disciplinary Committee or by others present or not.

m. A person who fails to appear before a Disciplinary Committee without reasonable cause shall not by so doing impede the proceedings of the Disciplinary Committee which shall be empowered to deliver a decision in the absence of the player or member concerned. Decisions delivered in absentia may be appealed to the Disciplinary Committee within fourteen days of the delivery of that decision and the Chairperson shall then convene a further meeting to hear the case.

n. Decisions of a Disciplinary Committee may only be appealed to a full meeting of the Board of Directors in a case where the Disciplinary Committee decides on the expulsion of any player or member or where breaches in the Standing Orders of the Disciplinary Committee are alleged. The decision of the Board shall be final.
