GFF pleased with IMC efforts to restore football in E’bo

Jun 21, 2013 Sports

The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) is pleased with the efforts of the Interim Management Committee (IMC) efforts to revive football in Essequibo. Executive members of the GFF, Keith Ojeer and Ivan Persaud visited the county on Tuesday last and held a meeting with the IMC at the board room of the Fire Station in Anna Regina.
Ojeer said that the GFF is happy with the performance of the IMC and is very encouraged by the number of clubs that showed interest in such a short period. Ojeer stated that they commended the IMC for being proactive in achieving this.
He informed that their visit was to assist with the formation of the Essequibo Football Federation and its affiliates. Ojeer indicated that clubs were briefed on the necessary requirements to get themselves in order, such as bank accounts and constitution; clubs were also told that they must have a minimum of 18 members and a registered coach.
He said that once the Essequibo Football Association is formed, they will be invited to attend refereeing courses. He told Kaieteur Sport that the Essequibo Football Federation would need a minimum of 5 clubs to become a bona-fide member of the GFF.
“At the meeting, three clubs indicated their willingness to register immediately while another 3 signified that they would be ready shortly, but clubs were given a period of 2 weeks to complete their registration after which a general meeting will be arranged by the IMC and that would allow the IMC to become a bona-fide member of the GFF; Thus the IMC will be replaced by the Essequibo Coast and Pomeroon Football Association or the Essequibo Football Association, depending on the clubs decision.”
Ojeer stated that the GFF handed over 3 trophies and 30 balls to the IMC to run a competition and the IMC members agreed that 1 ball should be given to each club present at the meeting and a further 2 balls will be handed out on the completion of their registration.
That was the GFF second visit to Essequibo since the IMC was formed. The Members of the IMC are Walter Joseph Chairperson, Maxine Stuart Secretary, Campton Haynes, Walter Moore, Andrea Blackman and Herald Alves committee members.
Also present at the meeting were Bush Lot FC, Queenstown FC, Good Hope FC, New Opportunity Corporation Sports Club, Richmond FC, Henrietta United FC and the Essequibo Technical Institute Sports Club representatives.
