Aubrey Hutson
Both sections remained tight-lipped following the closed-door proceedings, opting to rather just indicate that the matter has been adjourned and negotiations among them are ongoing.
Boyce had filed an injunction against the AAG that stated that the January 20 AGM and Election was unconstitutional; it was unlawful, illegal, ultra vires, null, void and of no effect.
He had told Kaieteur Sport following that the aim of the injunction was to ensure that those clubs that have satisfied the AAG Constitution get an opportunity to rightfully serve as opposed to the illegitimate clubs that voted at the elections.
Aubrey Hutson won the AAG Presidency on January 20 six votes to three, but three of the Clubs that were allowed to vote for him were found to be unconstitutional.
According to the AAG Constitution, a club must consist of 10 active athletes; must participate in 80% of the AAG competitions and must not be indebted to the association among two others that bear no real relevance to the subject of the injunction.
Based on that constitutional criterion, Bedford All stars, Rising Stars and Royal Youth Movement should not have been allowed to vote. Running Braves, which Hutson is President, Mercury Fast Laners and Enmore Track Club voted for Hutson.
The Police Progressive Youth Club, which Boyce manages as Police Sports Officer, the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Track Club and Upper Demerara (Linden) are the three largest track clubs in Guyana and all voted for Boyce at last month’s elections.
