PAGE 14 Wednesday February 6 2019 BAY HARBOUR Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Players lured away from Bays’ squad • By Gordon Findlater FERRYMEAD BAYS have been hit by a poaching raid from second-tier Christchurch United, which is offering match payments and bonuses. Several Bays’ players have snubbed the Mainland Premier League for the Canterbury Championship League. Bays coach and former All White, Danny Halligan, is also a defector to Christchurch United. Danny Halligan Halligan would not discuss match payments and bonuses with Bay Harbour News last week. “It’s not about money,” he said. “Players have a right to decide where they want to play. I left Bays on good terms and I’m not aware of any animosity anywhere. “The carrot for the players is the excitement of a new challenge. They can see if Christchurch United can get promoted into the MPL then they’ve got the facilities and organisation to be a really strong club again,” said Halligan. One of the new Christchurch United recruits told Bay Harbour News players would receive match payments between $120-$160 this season, which includes a win bonus and a further $500 if the club SUCCESS: The 2017 Bays team which won the MPL title. won promotion from the CCL to clude MPL record goal-scorer Michael White, 2018 Bays player of the MPL.

If that’s what they want The Bays players recruited in- to do then it maybe shows their aspirations . . . Christchurch United are giving it a good shot and have enticed people, which is good for them, but we’re the ones who are affected by it.” Cashmere Technical coach Dean Hutchinson said he understood Christchurch United had aspirations in wanting to return to the MPL. “On one hand that’s a good thing, but it’s an amateur league so if it is true that they’re directly paying players, then Mainland [Football] have to do something about it,” said Hutchinson. Mainland Football chief executive Julian Bowden says SPORTS it’s not unusual for players and managers to move around clubs, which can create rumours. But as an amateur league there are rules around player payments. Of a Christchurch United recruit telling Bay Harbour News players would receive a $500 promotion bonus, Bowden said: “That’s something we would probably want to talk to the club about. “Players can be reimbursed for expenses. If any players at any clubs were getting income it would be to reimburse things like gear, travel expenses or physio appointments,” said Bowden. “Under FIFA criteria, players can be reimbursed up to a certain level. There’s some principles around that in the national league and those principals flow down into our regional league.” Former Canterbury United and MPL stalwart Stu Kelly – whose Halswell United side have seen their CCL promotion chances drop with Christchurch United’s new additions – said players being paid is nothing new. “In the rules you can’t [pay players] but nobody’s tracking it. In the North Island it’s been even worse over the years, “ he said. •More sport, page 17 It’s our 45th Anniversary year! #areyouupforit 45th Anniversary Retro T-shirt available when entries open on 1st December 2018 Sunday 24th March, 2019 www.city2surf.co.nz
