Cork City has made a strongly-worded submission to FIFA in relation to the continuing impass over the eligibility of Gareth Farrelly and Colin Healy.

Both players have been prevented from playing for Cork due to a FIFA rule governing the number of clubs a player can sign for within 12 months.

City also revealed that they would submit an appeal by the deadline date of this coming Friday.

'The club is committed to doing everything in it's power to see justice prevail in relation to the two players concerned,' a club statement read.

'The club has spoken to, and taken, advice from people within the football world and the legal world, and also from the political scene.

'Cork City Football Club reiterates the unfairness of the situation, both for the players themselves, as well as for the club, and sincerely hope that justice and common sense will prevail in the matter.'
