AFL League Results - September 2007
When : 02nd September 2007
Where : Kranji Secondary School Field
Who : RAIN United vs WSUS Football Club
Score : 3 - 0 (Walked Over)
I contacted the organizer when I saw the scoreline which went in favour of us without us having to play the game against WSUS when browsing the AFL league table. Knowing that we have 2 remainder games to play on, and were not informed on the opponent's walkover and where our game were supposedly been postponed, the organizer returned my call and had told me that the team from WSUS has decided to forfeit the remainder of their 2 games owing to insufficient players.
With all due respect to WSUS, whom I knew were worthy friends and opponents, I had asked the organizer for WSUS team manager's contact for some clarifications but was told that the WSUS team contact is confidential. Hence I decided to pen it down as I am accountable for RAIN United's non-participation in this game where we take strict considerations on integrity when funds and football proper are involved in RAIN United; WIN or LOSE, ENOUGH PLAYERS or NOT ENOUGH PLAYERS. We have been in the usual "plight" as WSUS but we continued with our team's sportmanship and stand; With what I have been told by the organizer about WSUS, though with a thin squad and is unable to assign a proper team for their remainder games.
Likewise, we were told that there will be no refunds from the organiser. Dear organizer, this is not about money. Having written this shocking football news down, where we were not even informed by the organiser until the "screened", I would also clarify our situation clearly and not depending on what you say; whether I should believe you or not............! There must be voices coming down from the involving teams to narrow down the truth. Likewise, there must be some form of proper notifications before the match being the organiser.
I concurred that the game should not have been any walkover for the 2 teams as I had contacted the organizer some 2 weeks back and he had agreed to postpone this game as we were not available. ??????????????? Another lessons learnt. Is this an FAS sauntioned league where you claimed to be? I have had my doubts, not to mentioned on an occasion where I had offered my suggestions to you, to do it right, being the organiser on this league conformalties, apart from money making. Do it right for the respect. Do you call this a walked over game?
