They are complaining that their plea for financial support to football tournaments has been totally ignored.
He explained his organisation has written and approached the Arima business community on numerous occasions but has received no help.
The Arima community, like many in Trinidad and Tobago now, has been plagued by violent crimes, juvenile delinquency, school drop-outs and other forms of social ills.
Bobb, the driving force behind this development explained further that they have organised and currently manage the Arima Football League (AFL) — which cater for football in different age groups.
“We recently held an Under-13 competition and now we are nearing the completion of an Open Division League.
“We are about to begin a Big Four play-off and will afterwards go into a knockout competition being named after Arima football icon Patrick Pamphille,” Bobb said.
He explained that because of the absence of financial help, they have had to pay out prize money from gate receipts and from monies generated from a functioning bar during competition every night.
The top four teams from the 16-team Open Division have already been decided, with Group One winners Semi Pro and second placed Arima Young Masters (AYM), while in Group Two Malabar FC have taken the top spot, ahead of Samaroo Village FC.
On the opening night of the Big Four play-off tomorrow, Semi Pro will take on Samaroo Village while Malabar FC meet AYM.
The Patrick Pamphille knockout is set to kick off on Monday, at the Arima Velodrome.
League champions and knockout winners will each receive $3,000 with $2,000 to the runners-up and $1,000 for third.
