Indiscipline in football raised its ugly head again last Sunday after the masters league game between Constant Spring and Pelicans at the Constant Spring Oval. Constant Spring scored an upset 2-1 win over Pelicans in a very competitive game. The Manager and Coach of Pelicans Masters reportedly verbally and physically abused the game officials after the game.

After a review of the Referee's report and the Match Inspector's report, KSAMLA promptly expelled Pelicans from the league for bringing the game into disrepute, and also suspended them from competition in 2009. The Manager and the Coach of Pelicans were both referred to the KSAMLA Disciplinary Committee for further action.
