Ex-player seeks club winding up over unpaid wage claim

THE High Court has adjourned for one week an order for the winding up of the Cork City Football Club holding company, brought by one of the club’s ex-players who claims he is owed €36,570.

Former Ireland international Gareth Farrelly, with an address at Birkdale, Southport in the north west of England, brought the petition on the grounds the club is insolvent and unable to pay its debts.

Yesterday in the High Court, Ms Justice Mary Laffoy agreed, after being informed both parties had consented to put back the hearing of an order for the winding-up of Cork City Investment FC, with a registered address at Rushbrook, Cobh, Co Cork, for a period of one week.
