By Paul-Andre Walker, Staff ReporterCELLAR DWELLARS Star Cosmos began to come apart at the seams after their Wray and Nephew National Premier League game at the Harbour View Mini-Stadium yesterday.
After losing 0-3, what seemed like an ordinary misunderstanding between players - substitute Dwayne Gopaulsingh and Samora Palmer - degenerated into an almost embarrassing scene as they sought to display their displeasure with each other's playing style in fistic mode.
It was in fact Harbour View players, who had earlier been the target of the floundering team's wrath, that had to make sense of the madness and pull the players off each other.
Star Cosmos' coach Lewin Purser, while obviously not pleased about what had just transpired, was not surprised either.
"We are having a lot of internal problems," he said. "As a matter of fact, earlier today (Sunday) while in Port Maria I had to be taking players via a pick-up truck to the game and the pressure has finally begun to take its toll on the players."
Purser, meanwhile, went on to plead with the people from the team's parish to help him to sort out the club's financial problems.
"St. Mary we need your support, without that we are doomed to relegation, and once again we are begging, come out and support the team," he pleaded.
Things have gotten so bad that the St. Mary based team doesn't even know how it will find transportation to its next fixture, he says of their away fixture at Arnett Gardens.
"We just hope we can find some means of getting to the game on Wednesday. We just hope we can get the proper funding in place to get a bus to go to the games. It's really bad and it's getting even worse day by day," lamented Purser.
