Cricket’s gain, football’s loss

Cricket’s gain is likely to be football’s loss. With the influx of visitors for the much-anticipated West Indies cricket Test match against England beginning next Wednesday at Kensington Oval, the Barbados Football Association (BFA) may be forced to delay a triangular cup series.

This is after BFA president Randy Harris told the January 3 edition of the Daily Nation the competition was expected to take place between January 21 and 29 at the Wildey Turf.

It was all part of the BFA’s New Year’s resolution to strengthen the quality of the game while acting as a warm-up for the Tridents’ home fixture against Nicaragua on March 24 in the Concacaf Nations League qualifiers.

Several attempts to reach both Harris and general secretary Edwyn Wood were unsuccessful. They are attending a FIFA workshop in Africa and are scheduled to return on Monday. (AGB)
