While for Sparta, this year of the conference league is the absolute premiere in the league or formerly group phase of this quite new competition, Shamrock presented itself in the 2022/23 season in the group phase and last year in the league. In addition, he did not perform badly at all when he finished tenth and advanced to the spring knockout fights, but in a penalty shootout was not enough for Norwegian Molde.
This year, Shamrock has no competition in the Irish League and is heading for an absolutely clear title that has more or less in his pocket. The competition is played by the Spring-Podzim and Shamrock system only could be overtaken only by Derry City, which would have to win all the remaining four matches, Shamrock to lose all five, and Derry would have to destroy the 17-point deficit in score, which is quite impossible and Shamrock will win 22. The whole of Irish football history.
The Shamrock conference league qualification went through Gibraltar St. Josephs (4: 0 outside and 0: 0 at home), Kosovo FC Ballkani (0: 1 outside and 4: 0 at home) and unexpectedly eliminated the Portuguese Santa Clar in the last round.
