Hockey clubs to sit today

All the Dhaka-based hockey clubs, affiliated with the Bangladesh Hockey Federation (BHF), are expected to sit tomorrow to find a way out of the stalemate over non-participation of five rebel clubs in the Premier Division Hockey League.

Mohammedan SC, Mariner Youngs Club, Wari Club, Dhaka Wanderers Club and Bangladesh Sporting Club have continued their boycott of the league since the last season, in demand of dismantling of what they call an 'illegal committee' of the BHF.

“I have talked with officials of the five clubs, who are boycotting the league. They have agreed to sit with officials of 30 clubs from the premier division, the first division and the second division. As there is no objection about the other tournaments except for the premier league, we want a consensus to come out of the discussion,” said Usha KC's general secretary Abdur Rashid, who is also a vice president of the federation.
