Warrenpoint Town have lost their appeal against the Irish FA's rejection of their licence application for next season.

The hearing had been adjourned last week and was completed on Wednesday, with the verdict announced on Friday.

Warrenpoint said before the hearing that their application was rejected because of a tax bill which has now been paid.
