CLARO CUG

Clubs,

We have been advised that our CLARO CUG will be discontinued on March 1, 2012. We are currently in discussion with other providers in an effort not to have any interruption to our service. The most determining factor as to who will we will ultimately transfer our business to, will be price and benefits.

In the meanwhile, you are being asked not to try and transfer your CUG CLARO phones/numbers to DIGICEL, as this will not be allowed. If we decide to go with Digicel, your numbers will be transferred automatically. If we go with LIME, new numbers and phones will be assigned.

As I receive more information, you will be advised accordingly. Please do not hesitate to call me if you need clarification.

RAE TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB MOURNS THE DEATH OF KEYON "FIREMAN" LESLIE

Greetings:

The Rae Town Football club and community continues to mourn the passing of one of our players (recently transferred to Cavaliers S.C) who represented us from the youth level right up to the Super League 2010-2011 season.

Keyon Leslie was gunned down in the Southside community on December 24th 2011. His passing has sent shock waves through our club as well as the wider community.

We are trying to address a need expressed by his family who have indicated that they are unable to fully finance his funeral. As a football community we believe that it is important that we rally around the player's family at this time.

As such we are hosting an event of Friday 20th of January 2012 (3:00 p.m - 8 p.m) at the Breezy Castle Sports Complex (Rae Town's home field) called " In remembrance of Keyon "Fireman" Leslie" We are asking the clubs and their players to come out and support this evening of liming, drinking, domino playing and music. Their is no entry fee but refreshments are on sale. If you are unable to attend any financial support that you are able to extend to this venture would be appreciated by us and no doubt by his family.

Please respond by email or telephone contact.
Regards

Treasurer - Rae Town F.C 575-7890 damolihyl@yahoo.com 

N.B. ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE EVENT WILL GO TOWARDS HIS FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS!

Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) Players Suspended

Kingston, Jamaica: The Jamaica Defence Force Football Team has seen three (3) of its members suspended for breaches of the JFF Disciplinary Code while participating in a KSAFA Major League match on December 10, 2011 against Allma-Woodford Football Club.

The suspensions were handed down at the KSAFA disciplinary committee meeting held on January 12, 2012 following the match referee’s report, internal investigations and careful deliberations.

KSAFA President Rudolph Speid while welcoming the decision indicated that the association does not condone violence of any sort in the sport:

“What took place in the game is rather unfortunate. I do not support violence in any sports and certainly not in any KSAFA run competition. I support the ruling of the disciplinary committee and hope that this not only sends a signal of the seriousness of our competitions, but also clearly indicate to the players that they are role models who should not take part in such behavior”.

The Disciplinary committee found Mr. Ricardo Gordon, Terrence Shaw and Kevin Mitchell guilty of breaches of the JFF Disciplinary Code articles 48, 49 and 47 respectively and recommended the following:

1. Player Ricardo Gordon shall be suspended for four matches and be fined five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00).

2. Player Terrence Shaw shall be suspended for six matches and be fined five Thousand Dollars ($ 5,000.00).

3. Kevin Mitchell shall be band for the remainder of the season and be fined $25,000,00.

The Burchell Gibson chaired committee also recommended that the KSAFA should take note of a few areas, including amongst other things:

• Referees to ensure that the Goalkeepers are properly identified on Match Cards submitted for games

• The KSAFA should review the criteria and regulate the participation of the teams for The Jamaica Constabulary Force and The Jamaica Defense Force (JDF) in its competitions

• The JDF must pay the medical bills for Omar Grant who sustained a broken jaw and was hospitalized

• When Up-Park Camp is used as a home venue, members of The Jamaica Constabulary Force should be used as Security Officers.

• The JDF should identify an alternate venue for matches while playing in Competitions; the Competitions Committee should review the use of the Up Park Camp venue based on the number of reported incidents

KSAFA has informed the JDF of the ruling and looks forward to their continued support as we work together to stomp out violence in football.
