Last Sunday at the launching of the East Demerara Football Association’s (EDFA) 2008 football season at the Plaisance Community Centre ground, EDFA’s president Aubrey Hutson said that one of the major hindrances to the development of football on the East Coast was the lack of access to playing surfaces by affiliated clubs.

The EDFA president appealed to Region Four Chairman Clement Corlette to assist with the association’s problem of having access to grounds, adding that the few teams who have had such access in their community have been excelling in recent tournaments.

Hutson said that the EDFA is currently on a recovery course and is striving to re-establish the reputation that teams on the East Coast had years ago for producing some of the country’s best players. …..
