eight teams.
Meanwhile, the scores of persons who turned up at the venue left disappointed after the night’s second game didn’t come off after the management of Slingerz FC pulled the club from their clash against the Army.
It would have been the third meeting between the two clubs and their first in the STAG Elite League but the Vergenoegen-based club protested a move by the Guyana Football Federation (GFF).
According to information reaching Chronicle Sport, the club was told by the GFF in a letter from the General Secretary Deidre Davis late yesterday, that the St Vincent and the Grenadines trio, brothers Winslow and Jolanshoy McDowall, Keith James and former Grove Hi-Tech striker Domini Garnett, were not eligible to further participate until the approval of their transfer.
The players would have played in every match so far for the ‘West Side’ club and the club’s General Manager Collin Aaron told the GFF’s General Secretary his team had no ineligible players on its registration list submitted to the Federation.
“The ITC request for the above-mentioned players was confirmed by all stakeholders within the FIFA TMS Transfer Matching System within the GFF Transfer Open Window Period.
“However, it was the GFF that was encountering internet problems during that time that caused the GFF TMS Manager Mr (Lyndon) France not having access to accept the ITC request, despite I brought him over to the Kashif & Shanghai Office to login and he was still encountering problems getting into his TMS Account,” Aaron said to the GFF in his letter.
Aaron is of the view that “it would be unfair at this time after five rounds of the Elite League to now tell us (Slingerz FC) that the players are ineligible due to the GFF negligence in the entire process.
The Slingerz FC was asking the GFF to rescheduled tonight fixture against the GDF, while the issue is being sorted out.
“I found this action to be unfair, thus putting the club at risk to play without the above-mentioned players who all starters and considering the closeness of the league points.”
Chronicle Sport in a subsequent edition, will publish the details and findings from the Slingerz FC scenario.
