The move by Lennox Watson, Neville Ferguson and associates to consolidate their hijack of the Eastern FA continued last evening at the Andre Kamperveen Hall of the CONCACAF Centre of Excellence at a meeting of the EFA General council chaired by Ferguson.
Over the objection of member clubs, Ferguson proceeded with the "installation of officers" by Brian Layne (TTFF executive committee member).
Protesting clubs sought to argue against the meeting agenda, which included the installation of officers as the first business item.
They also attempted to argue that former TTFF president Oliver Camps had established a committee under the chairmanship of TTFF vice-president Rudy Thomas to investigate the electoral impasse in the east.
This committee has not as yet met with the EFA clubs but had indicated unofficially yesterday afternoon that it wished to convene the first meeting on 10 November 2011.
Ferguson never listened or responded to these arguments and proiceeded with the manipulation of last evening's meeting, which entirely circumvents the work of this investigative committee.
Notably, of the thirteen (13) clubs in attendance, nine (9) walked out of the meeting during the purported installation of officers. These clubs will meet on the weekend to discuss their response to the latest turn of events.
These clubs are:
Barataria Ballplayers FC
Carib FC
Creek Sports and Cultural club
FC Santa Rosa
La Horquetta Sporting Academy
Malabar FC
Pinto United FC
Prisons Sports Club
St. John's United FC
