Half the pay­ment of March salaries was made to Tier 1 cham­pi­ons of the T&T Pre­mier Foot­ball League AC Port-of-Spain Tuesday (April 15), which ef­fec­tive­ly en­sures that the club will take the field to­mor­row in a cru­cial clash against ta­ble top­pers De­fence Force.

But now club own­er Ryan Nunes wants to set­tle the is­sue of their for­feit­ed match against MIC Cen­tral FC Re­boot at the Ari­ma Velo­drome last Fri­day (April 11) as a mat­ter of prin­ci­ple, say­ing he in­tends to take le­gal ad­vice to en­sure they are sat­is­fied.

Nunes said his play­ers were en­raged af­ter the promised pay­ment of salaries did not come through last Fri­day, fol­lowed by a de­ci­sion of the league to hand Cen­tral FC the win, com­pris­ing three goals and as many points. Nunes, a mem­ber of the ex­ec­u­tive of the foot­ball as­so­ci­a­tion which cel­e­brat­ed its first an­niver­sary on Sun­day, con­firmed to Guardian Me­dia Sports that half pay­ment of wages was paid.
