E’bo football can move forward but with properly structured clubs – IMC chairman Brown

May 19, 2013 Sports

 

Essequibo football can move forward but the clubs need to be properly structured, this is according to the chairman of the Interim Management Committee Darren Brown.
Brown recently told Kaieteur Sport that the Essequibo Coast and Pomeroon Football Association (EC&PFA) was replaced by an Interim Management Committee.  He said clubs were not paying subscription and affiliation fees, they were not properly structured and as such there were no elections for a number of years and the EC&PFA was replaced by the IMC.
He stated that for the past 5-6 years nothing was happening in football in the area, but he is presently working on a developmental plan and he recently spoke with the new president of the Guyana Football Federation, Christopher Matthias, about the issue.  He informed that the clubs must be properly taken care of administratively and technically so that they can pay their fees and elections can be held and the association be resuscitated.  He said that Essequibo benefitted from the past GFF administration in terms of administrative and refereeing courses as well as coaching, but could have gained a lot more if the club structure was good.
Brown, who is also a referee, said that Essequibo has talent but the players need to take the game seriously. He informed that two players were selected to play for a Bartica team in the Kashif and Shanghai tournament in 2011 but they did not show up. He said Essequibo produced a number of national players with the most recent one being Christopher Bacchus who played at the U-15 level. Brown indicated that there are plans to include the islands as well.
He stated that there are 6 grounds in the area namely New Opportunity Corps, Suddie, Anna Regina Community Centre, Walton Hall and Queenstown but they need a ground where the game can be played regularly.
Supernaam, Suddie, New Opportunity Corps, Queenstown, Henrietta, Dartmouth, Charity, Devonshire Castle and Richmond were the teams that played competitively. (Zaheer Mohamed)
