Postponement of all League Matches

As we began our light training session this morning in preparation for our final league match of the season tomorrow I was handed a letter by Kofi the Ghanaian coach.
The letter which had been sent by the Ghanaian Football Association (GFA), read as follows;

Dear Sir
Postponement of League Matches
With the non completion of protest cases, all 3rd Division league matches has been canceled. Date for resumption will be communicated at a later date.
With respect to the above all clubs with protest cases must be armed with correct evidence as cases will be heard next week.
The inconvenience is deeply regretted.

Your in Sports

Nataniel Ako-Adjei (General Secretary)

I should say that the league table I published was based on Cantonments winning all three of our protests. However it does seem almost certain that we will, as the referee after each match assured us we would be awarded the three points.

The incompetence of the GFA is unbelievable at times. They have come to this decision as there are a number of protest cases over various issues, including Cantonments three protests. They have failed to make a decision despite a number of emergency meetings held at the GFA headquarters in Accra. This leaves us in the strange position of having no idea when our final game will be played.

This is not the first time dealings with the GFA have been slow moving. Three of our coaches have been enrolled onto a GFA coaching course, this was paid for a couple of months ago but still a date has not been set. The last time I asked Noah our GFA representative he said, 'The league is too hot at the moment to worry about the coaching course'. In addition to this the youth league that was meant to kick off in September or October is yet to begin. The date has been pushed back every month since my arrival, I have been assured it will finally begin in January. The GFA have decided there will be 2 youth leagues next year, when I asked Noah about this he replied that they had decided to do this because of the world cup!

I hope to report that the league will be completed next week, however I am not confident.
