St. George's Colts boss Kenny Bascome has again blasted Bermuda Football Association for the 'disrespect' they have shown towards his club this season.

The Colts manager was furious after his team were forced to play a re-arranged game against Somerset Eagles at Somerset Cricket Club on Wednesday night.

Originally billed as a home game on a Sunday afternoon, the fixture, which was to have taken place on Sunday, January 4 at Wellington Oval, was switched following the death of Machai Campbell in December last year.

At the time, Bascome, already infuriated by the decision to switch his side's Dudley Eve final to Somerset, said he had a feeling his side would end up being punished for their success in the competition.

And while the decision has already cost the club financially in the short term, they may end up paying a far heavier price for the BFA's decision to effectively turn a home game into an away one.

Before Wednesday, Colts were lying third, level on points with second-placed Eagles and just a point behind leaders St David's. A 2-1 defeat means they are now three points adrift of Eagles, who also have a game in hand.

"I'm disappointed that we've had to go there again," said Bascome.

"I believe as a team that is bucking for promotion this is very disrespectful to my team. I believe that because this game should have been played in St George's.

"It's not a matter of it not being right, they (BFA) have made a decision, and as a club we will abide by it, but I still don't believe that it is fair to my players or to the club. I honestly believe playing at 7 p.m. in Somerset is very disruptive to your team's preparation."

While the team have suffered in the league, the club have also lost out on the revenue it would have generated from a Sunday afternoon game at home.

"In this economic downturn I believe this game should have been played in St George's," said Bascome. "We get something from the game, but if it was at home we would have got everything from it."

The financial implications may get worse still as Wednesday night's defeat could yet cost Colts a place in the top flight.

Bascome, however, has refused to give up the fight just yet.

"We're still in it, we're not completely out of it, they (Eagles) go three points above us and two points above St David's," he said.

"We can't lose any more games but our destiny is basically out of our own hands and we have to hope that the other teams drop some points."
