Former Golden Jaguar international Dwain Jacobs has returned unopposed to the helm of recently formed Golden Grove football club, Dynamics FC, when the entity staged its elections and Annual General Meeting (AGM) on July 18.
This was confirmed by secretary of the East Coast Demerara Football Association (ECDFA) Gidell Austin, who supervised the forum on behalf of the club. Jacobs will lead the club which was formed in 2018, for another two-year term.
The other members of the executive, who were also elected unopposed, are 1st Vice President, Dawn Francis; 2nd Vice President, Moses Harper; Secretary, Kevin Morgan; Treasurer, Alyne-Ann Downes; Manager, Osafo Wills; and Assistant Manager, Anikie Whinfield.
Stabroek Sport was unable to contact Jacobs for a comment as his cellular phone was turned off. According to Austin, the electoral congress was staged at the Golden Breeze Hangout Bar, and was attended by a sizable contingent of the players and members of the club.
“Everything went well at the elections, and it had a reasonable turnout of players. I gave them some insight following feedback from the GFF. This is the first of many club elections that will occur before the association hosts its elections. The other clubs have to host their elections before the end of August. The other eight clubs must hold their elections so we can stage ours. That is mandatory by the association who will supervise all the elections for the other clubs,” Austin explained
The other clubs that are scheduled to conduct elections are: Plaisance, Beterverwagting, Buxton Stars, Melanie, Paradise, Golden Stars, Victoria Scorpions, and Mahaica Determinators. Elite clubs, Ann’s Grove, Buxton United, and Victoria Kings, are exempt from that process because they are direct members of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) owing to their status as Elite League members.
The ECDFA who were constitutionally mandated to stage their elections in 2019, must conduct their AGM before the conclusion of September. Presently, the ECDFA comprises President, Alfred King; 1st Vice President, Gregory Wickham; 2nd Vice-President, Jillian Frank; 3rd Vice President, Mark Pertab; Treasurer, Kessa Nedd; and Committee Members, Raymond Daw, Kevin Tixey, and Delon Adams.
