Deccan XI `A' declared I-Div winner

EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE  
PUNE, April 12: Deccan XI `A' have been declared winners of the Poona District Football Association (PDFA) I-Division title for the year 1998-99, after a decision was taken by the PDFA, on Sunday. The decision was reached after getting directives by the state body the Western India Football Association (WIFA), who in effect gave a clear signal to the PDFA League committee to take their own decision as per the rules.

With Shivajians being eliminated from the Super-Four League - owing to the fielding of foreign players during the tournament -- the league automatically was reduced to a three team affair.

Deccan `A' won both their Super League ties against City Club and Roopali Sports Club and finished on top of the table with six points, while City Club who had a lone win against Roopali finished second with three points. Shivajians, by virtue of the PDFA's final verdict finished their campaign on a disparaging note. Being affixed with a blot on their reputation - all their ties have been declared null and void.

However, Shivajians, who were placed in Group-A were lucky to escape relegation in the garb of another team, Ex-Loyola Students Association (ELSA) failing to submit their entry - and instead faced demotion, according to information provided by Chetan Chavan, secretary PDFA.

Transfers: The PDFA will be effecting Inter club transfers at a later date. Forms for players' transfers can be availed from the PDFA secretary, Chetan Chavan, at 14, Laxmi Housing Society, Senapati Bapat Road, Pune 6. Tel No. 354745. Transfer fees are Rs 75 per player and the last date for submitting forms is April 18.
