LLANELLI BACK IN THE DOCK

LLANELLI face another appearance in London's High Court at the end of this month.

For the third time this season, HM Revenue and Customs will petition for the winding-up of the Reds over overdue taxes.

Chairman Nitin Parekh settled an outstanding tax bill in August to stave-off the first winding-up petition from HMRC and again in November.

The latest petition is due to be heard on January 28.

Players have regularly gone without pay this term and the Reds have battled other cash flow problems, including unpaid rent for their Stebonheath Park ground and social club.

Midfielder Antonio Corbisisero revealed some players are struggling to honour their own financial commitments, while manager Bob Jeffrey has admitted he expects several departures during the January transfer window with two already confirmed.
