The West Demerara Football Association Senior Men’s League fixture between Slingerz and Uitvlugt yesterday was abandoned by the referees following an argument that erupted between the lead official, spectators and members of the Slingerz technical area and bench.
At the time of the stoppage, 65 minutes had elapsed in the 80-minute encounter, with defending champion and league leader Slingerz commanding a sizable 3-0 advantage at the Tuschen ground.
The spat ignited after Leo Lovell of Slingerz was issued his second yellow card for alleged dissent, which produced a red card from the official and led to his expulsion. Red cards were also issued to substitute Delon Lanferman and assistant coach O’Neil Heywood in the subsequent verbal spat that was immediately triggered by Lovell’s dismissal.
