Dolphins FC Rejects Replay Date for Game Against Kano Pillars
Opeyemi Oladunjoye
Port Harcourt’s Dolphins FC have refused to play their rescheduled game against Kano Pillars on Saturday as directed by the League Management Company.
According to the General Manager of the club, Joe Johnson, the team had arrived in Kano last Friday, on the eve of the game, only to discover the match had been postponed indefinitely due to the death of the Emir of Kano.
He said in a statement from the club: “Since we were told that the game was postponed indefinitely, we let our players go on break since the LMC had previously said there would be no league games during the World Cup.
“A lot of them did not return to Port Harcourt with us as some alighted in Kano and some in Enugu, depending on where they live. By the time we got to the camp in Port Harcourt some had departed for their respective homes.
“We received a message from the LMC that the game will be replayed this Saturday but there is no fund to prosecute the game we had already spent money on and there are no players too.
“The best time we can replay that game will be when the league resumes.”
