-says player can be considered ‘outside agent’
The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has dismissed an appeal by Anns Grove United Football Club (AGUFC) against Western Tigers Football Club (WTFC) for fielding an ineligible player, stating that following an extensive investigation, the player in question, Rondell Peters, despite not being on the match-day roster, is a member of the team’s roster and can be considered an “outside agent.”
This was disclosed in an official correspondence, which was sent to Ann’s Grove Secretary, Dellon Adams, on March 29 and signed by GFF General Secretary Ian Alves.
According to the correspondence, “Investigation into the complaint of the AGUFC has confirmed that, on Match Day 4 (Western Tigers vs Ann’s Grove United FC) player Rondell Peters did enter the pitch while not being on the official list for that match. This action by Western Tigers FC constituted a breach of Rule 4.4. We note that the player is a registered player of the Western Tigers FC (WTFC), but was not however, on the club’s ‘game day roster’ for the match in question. This confirmation therefore rules out the AGUFC allegation that the player was an “illegal player.”
