With competitive local football non-existent due to the Covid-19 pandemic, head coach of Pouderoyen FC Travis Bess, disclosed that the current situation has had a tremendous impact on the club’s developmental plans for the 2020/2021 season.
This was disclosed during an exclusive interview with Stabroek Sport yesterday. According to Bess, the developmental plans are currently at a standstill, as the management team is unable to structure and implement several policies geared for the ongoing season.
He stated, “The club is dormant at the moment, the players and the management team just interact via social media on the different leagues that are occurring and find out about the wellbeing of each other. The Covid-19 pandemic has affected us terribly because we had invested in excess of US$1500 in equipment for the new season and hoped to complete the previous West Demerara League and to be crowned champion. The executive committee had high hopes for us in terms of how we would have performed in 2020 in the various national tournaments we would have been invited to …the Turbo Energy and the Limacol as well as the association level events.”
