Alessandro Zarelli has featured in national media allegations this week. The Italian, who never played a competitive first team fixture for the club and was sent home for disciplinary reasons, is alleged to have 'conned' two Welsh soccer clubs into paying for accomodation and other expenses.

The following is the official response from the club: 'We are perturbed at these allegations and the problems encountered by other football clubs. Alessandro Zarelli was sent home from Lisburn Distillery following a breach of club discipline.We will consider the issues at our next board meeting and we will obviously assist any investigation by an appropriate authority.'

Speaking after the six nil victory over Limavady Utd in the CIS Insurance Cup, manager Paul Kirk had this to say

'I said on Saturday that there was a fine line between where we are and where we where going, we crossed that line tonight. I thought we played extremely well in the opening twenty minutes and should have came in more goals up. But I am delighted with the response from the players tonight after Saturday's disappointment - we are looking forward to the semis. I was however disappointed that when they went down to nine men with just over twenty minutes left that we didn't score more.We were wasteful, we were careless and I told the players that I wouldn't accept that, we have to be ruthless. It was though a super performance and I thought that Andy Kilmartin had an outstanding game for us tonight.'

Lisburn Distillery would like to thank Volvo Dealers - S M W Belfast for sponsoring this Tuesday night's CIS Insurance Cup quarter-final against Limavady Utd.
