Roy McArthur, Interim Digicel Schools Football championships coordinator, said yesterday that he has not altered the tournament’s fixture to benefit defending champion Chase Academy, the school that his son Nicholas McArthur represents.
In an invited comment, McArthur, who also holds the portfolio of FIFA Accredited Referee Assessor said: “No I did not influence the fixture, the fixture was there from the beginning. At the launching [of the tournament], they were shown the three teams who would go straight to the quarterfinal round which were North Zone Champion [Chase Academy], South Zone Champion [Sir Leon Lessons] and Region #6 champion [Vryman’s Erven].”
