The opening night of the East Coast Mash Cup Football Championship got off to an inauspicious start, as the feature encounter between Buxton United and Dynamic FC was abandoned, after the former opted against taking the playing area, citing the poor quality lighting and surface as the primary reasons.
The match was penciled to commence following the end of the first fixture between Mahaica Determinators and Victoria Kings. However, the encounter never materialized, as the technical staff of the Buxtonian outfit decided against taking the playing area because of the poor lighting and quality of the surface. Dynamic FC who are the hosts of the tournament was willing to contest the encounter.
