Cork City thrown two lifelines as battle continues

CORK CITY, the club which refuses to die, was yesterday thrown not one, but two lifelines, as it battles to retain a place in the League of Ireland Premier Division.

The first came in the High Court which heard that a winding-up order sought by the Revenue Commissioners will be struck off next Monday, pending the payment by tomorrow of an outstanding tax bill of just over €100,000.

The second reprieve followed last night when the Independent Club Licensing Committee deferred its decision on Cork City’s place in the League of Ireland next season until after that High Court case is heard next week.
