KASAFA caught in the middle of Stony Hill football row
Thursday, 18 October 2007
The Kingston and St. Andrew Football Association (KASAFA) is facing a situation that could turn ugly in an area not exactly known for its prowess in the sport.
Two entities in Stony Hill appear to have been given separate assurances by the association which could lead to residents not being able to watch their team compete in the Syd Bartlett League.
Craig Butler, who is manager of the Stony Hill Phoenix Club whose players competed at the under 15 and 17, is now being told that he had no right to enter the team in the KASAFA run competitions.
Livingstone Caine says he is the president of the Stony Hill Football Club the rightful KASAFA affiliate.
However Butler says he has a letter from KASAFA President Ambassador Stewart Stephenson, granting his club the proper status, and a berth in the Syd Bartlett League which begins in less than three weeks time.
However Livingston Caine claims he was told by the same Stewart Stephenson that he would have KASAFA 's blessing to represent the town.
Though Stephenson refused to comment KASAFA Vice President Carvel Stewart tried to clarify the issue saying that initially Butler and his Phoenix Club had satisfied KASAFA requirements, but added that it was now felt the two feuding factions must work together.
