NFD play-offs face postponement


The PSL’s Promotion/Relegation Play-offs are scheduled to kick off on Wednesday, but face postponement because of the threat of court action by Blackburn Rovers and Dynamos. 

The first fixture in the mini-league between Thanda Royal Zulu and Santos has been set down for a 4pm kick-off in Richards Bay on Wednesday, but could be postponed while legal attempts are made to dispute the outcome of the National First Division.
 
Interdicts against the Play-offs have been threatened by Blackburn Rovers and Dynamos, according to PSL sources.
 
They are expected to be filed on Tuesday, seeking an urgent postponement of the Play-offs.
 
Blackburn missed out on the Play-offs after a surprise home loss to Bay United on the final day of the First Division season on Sunday, while Dynamos were relegated to the Vodacom League after losing 7-2 at Carara Kicks.
 
Both have told the PSL they intend challenging the validity of player registrations. The identities of the disputed players are not known, but the two clubs claim players have been fraudulently registered by Chippa United and one other as yet unknown club.

A statement is expected to be released on the matter by the PSL in the next 24 hours.
