Football: Waiting game continues for Brunei DPMM's participation in S'pore Premier League

SINGAPORE - Defending champions Brunei DPMM's participation in the Singapore Premier League remains in limbo after the Football Association of Singapore announced on Tuesday that the match between Hougang United and the Bruneians on Sunday has been postponed.In its media statement, the FAS said it had proposed to the Brunei-based club to be accommodated in Singapore and to play their matches here.

However, the league could be thrown into upheaval with a fixtures pile-up should DPMM be unable to play their games as scheduled. The team had played just one game - a 2-0 win over Tampines Rovers on March 6 - before the hiatus on March 24, and have been pencilled in for an average of two games a week in the restart.

Not wanting to win the game by a walkover, Teo added :"There must be valid reasons for the delay. Despite the postponement, we would be happy for DPMM to continue playing in the league. They are defending champions and always push us to the limit, so it would be a pity if they are unable to participate.

Earlier, DPMM coach Adrian Pennock told The Straits Times that the decision to participate in the SPL is not in the club's hands and that they will respect the rules of the Brunei government.
