The2008–09 IFA Premiership (known as theJJB Sports Premiership for sponsorship reasons) was the 1st season of theIFA Premiership, the highest level of league football inNorthern Ireland (after a major overhaul of the league system), and the 108th season ofIrish league football overall.

Glentoran were champions, winning the league for the 23rd time.

Summary

[edit]

It was scheduled to begin on 9 August 2008, however the start of the league was delayed by a week due to a referees' strike.[3][4] The season eventually began on 16 August 2008, and concluded on 2 May 2009.Linfield were the defending champions, but narrowly fell short of retaining the title as rivalsGlentoran pipped them by a single point to win their 23rd league title overall.

Team changes from 2007–08

[edit]

The league was reduced from sixteen to twelve teams as a result of the league system in Northern Ireland being restructured by theIFA.

Five oflast season's sixteen Premier League teams failed to gain a place in the new twelve-team Premiership, and one new team -Bangor - gained entry from theIFA Intermediate League.

Of the five teams who missed out, three -Armagh City,Larne andLimavady United failed to obtain the necessary domestic licence.Portadown obtained a licence, but was controversially excluded because a club official missed a deadline for submitting an application form by several minutes. Finally,Donegal Celtic obtained a licence, but was ranked thirteenth in the entry list, and thus missed out by one place.

Notes:
  1. ^abCrusaders won the2008–09 Irish Cup and qualified for thesecond qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League. Therefore the fourth placed team,Lisburn Distillery, also earned a spot in the Europa League.
  2. ^On 2 February 2009,Bangor announced that they would not be able to renew their domestic licence due to financial difficulties, and therefore would not compete in the2009–10 IFA Premiership.[1] Therefore, they were placed at the bottom of the league and thus automatically relegated, with Dungannon Swifts given a reprieve.

Promotion/relegation play-off

[edit]

The relegation/promotion system was slightly modified because Bangor, who withdrew from the next IFA Premiership season, eventually finished 11th. It meant that last placedDungannon Swifts played a two-legged match againstDonegal Celtic, runners-up of the2008–09 IFA Championship, for one spot in the2009–10 IFA Premiership. The score was 2–2 on aggregate, but Dungannon Swifts secured their spot in the following IFA Premiership season by winning onaway goals.
