Appeals Committee Rules in the Disputed Fontenoy United Vs Chantimelle SC
Match and the Stage Set for thr Final Round of Matches in Round Two of the
GFA Premier League
Friday 21st
October, 2016-St. George’s-
The GFA Appeals Committee has ruled in the disputed match between Fontenoy
United and Chantimelle SC. The Committee led by Attorney Derrick Sylvester has
ruled that Chantimelle SC is to be awarded three points and the match will not be
replayed. The Committee also recommended further sanctions for some players
involved in unsporting behaviour during the match. These details will be revealed
in a written ruling to be delivered to the GFA shortly. The decision is a complete
overturn of the Disciplinary Committee’s ruling that recommended the match be
replayed. The match which was first played on the 4th
of September at Beausejour
ended prematurely after a scuffle amongst players on both teams. Red cards were
issued, and following this, Fontenoy United walked off the field in protest.
However, while Fontenoy United failed to defend, a goal was scored by
Chantimelle SC after the referee resumed play. This ruling now clears the way for
all teams to go into the final round of matches in round two(2) of the GFA Premier
League on 17 matches. All matches will be contested simultaneously on Sunday
23rd
October at 4pm.The following is the line up for the weekend.
Sun 23rd Oct Gouyave FC vs Paradise FC 4PM CPETERS PK

Sun 23rd Oct Fontenoy United vs St John’s Sports 4PM Queens Park
Sun 23rd Oct Hard Rock vs QPR 4PM VICTORIA PK
Sun 23rd Oct Boca Juniors vs Chantimelle SC 4PM PLAINS
An assessment of the points table (page 2) reveals that Mt. Rich SC and Hurricanes
SC will have to battle each other for the final spot in the Big 4 that will face off to
become the 2016 GFA Premier League Champions. Also, Fontenoy United sits
precariously just outside of the automatic relegation zone. A win for Fontenoy and
a loss for Boca Juniors will see them avoid automatic demotion (9th
and 10th
place).
Teams ending in 7th
and 8th
place in the Premier league will face teams placing 3rd
and 4th
overall in the Conference League for promotion/relegation. Playoff dates
will be announced soon.
