Police should play with Isonga
Editor,
Allow me to react to a story published in The New Times of April, 30, under the headline “Police won’t honour Isonga replay”
I understand the youthful Isonga side had over ten players in the U-20 Junior Wasps contingent which played against Namibia last month. Because of the Namibia African Youth championship qualification game, the club understandably failed to assemble its players in time for the Police fixture since they had arrived in the country just a day or two earlier! Indeed, the youngsters were too fatigued to immediately take on one of the teams tipped to win this season’s Primus League.
The FA officials were considerate and re-fixed the match, but now Police FC are insisting they won’t honour the replay.
The cops should spare us their cowardice and turn up for the game. Isonga were on state duty which they accomplished majestically (by winning 2-0) and, therefore, deserve every right to play their league fixture.

Dear Newtimes sport team reader.what i guess in this Saga is a mistake from ferwafa.as the both sides(Police vs Isonga)have not been contacted on the issue.so as Isonga has no other benefite beyond play skills from championship it could be allowed to police to have there 3 point.this has not any impact on the stands in time its known that isonga is a national team lather than a championship team as it was establishe d by ferwafa.they fault must locate to Isonga as their team instead of Police.thanks

My view Is this:No one have to be pressioned to play that game.The problem is on FERWAFA house!Of cause isonga player were fatigued and the staff has wrote a letter to FERWAFA before time bt the federation didn't accept the reason given I don't understand why!But I can analyse and say that there were a big pression in the fedelation back of one of the three big runner of the cup!We recognize well who is stronger anough to ruler!As a police staff I Can't accept anyway to play tha game the rule is there the isonga were absent,FERWAFA gave a green light to the match!But i can afirm that it is possible that police could accept to play becose APR lost today before MUKURA.That make POLICE more confortable now and he can take a risk in favor of FERWAFA I point that!
