Glenmuir coach makes suggestion on aborted game
BY PAUL A REID Observer writer
LIONEL TOWN, Clarendon — Glenmuir High’s coach Patrick ‘Jackie’ Walters is suggesting that the remaining five minutes of Tuesday’s aborted ISSA/Pepsi/Digicel daCosta Cup Zone I game against Bustamante be played, rather than have a complete replay, or the game be awarded a two-goal margin.
Glenmuir led 10-0 with some five minutes of regulation time left when referee Kevin Morrison ended the game after a discussion with Bustamante High coach, James Garwood.
The Observer understands that Morrison asked Garwood to leave the playing area after the coach called his attention to an injured Glenmuir player who was lying on the ground.
The situation appeared to have been blown out of context, however, as both schools gave similar reports of what took place.
Garwood, whom it is understood was a teammate of Morrison on the Garvey Maceo daCosta Cup team some years ago, told the Observer he had tried for “about two minutes” to get the referee’s attention to an injured Glenmuir player and had to raise his voice to get the official’s attention.
He told the Observer that the fourth official told him he could not stop the game then, until the ball goes out of play, but the Bustamante coach questioned that decision as he said it appeared the player was in serious discomfort and had been left on the field too long without attention.
He said at that time, Morrison asked him to leave the field and he backed off “about 20 steps, then stopped to talk to a youth”. It was at that time he said that Morrison called off the game.
Warren Simpson, Glenmuir’s assistant coach, concurred with the cause of the stoppage, telling the Observer, it appeared to have been “a big misunderstanding”.
