Isle of Wight Football Draw Farce

by isleofman.com 6th May 2011

There will not be any decision about who plays who in this summer's NatWest Island Games Football tournaments until next week.

The draw took place yesterday......but the International Games Association Football Technical Committee raised issues with the Isle of Wight Football Association and the Organising Committee.

It seems the concern centres on whether the programme of matches can be completed within the week the Games take place.

Any decision about sticking to the original line-up or a possible redraw has been defered until at least Monday.

In yesterday's draw the Isle of Man drew:-

Men - Guernsey, Gotland and the Falkland Islands
Women - Gibraltar and Greenland
