Ter­ry Fen­wick, coach of Dig­i­cel Pro League club, San Juan Jabloteh is amazed the draw for the 2010/2011 Con­ca­caf Cham­pi­ons League pre­lim­i­nary round and group stages was made with his club still await­ing a protest de­ci­sion. The draw for the tour­na­ment was made on Wednes­day at Con­ca­caf's head of­fice in New York and Jabloteh was pit­ted against the Mex­i­can Clausura run­ner-up ei­ther San­tos or Tolu­ca on Ju­ly 27-29 in the first-leg and sev­en days lat­er in their sec­ond-leg clash. The win­ner of tie will then ad­vance to a Group B four-team group stage home-and-away se­ries with Colum­bus Crew (USA), Mu­nic­i­pal (Guatemala) and the win­ner of fel­low Pro League club and bit­ter-ri­val, bmo­bile Joe Pub­lic/Cos­ta Ri­can cham­pi­ons, Bru­jas FC tie. But reached for com­ment on the draw, a be­wil­dered Fen­wick said he had a prob­lem with a few sit­u­a­tions. "I'm not re­al­ly con­cern with which Mex­i­can team we have to face at the mo­ment be­cause for us it's re­al­ly quite un­cer­tain what's tak­ing place. "Ear­li­er in the tour­na­ment we were told that the top three teams from CFU would qual­i­fy au­to­mat­i­cal­ly for the group stages. "Now there has been an­oth­er change and we were placed in the pre­lim­i­nary round draw." "We've al­so got an ap­peal against Joe Pub­lic for the use of Radan­fah Abu Bakr in our head-to-head match be­fore the CFU Ap­peals Com­mit­tee and yet a draw was made. "We have noth­ing against Joe Pub­lic as a club but it's just that the rules and guide­lines of CFU are there to be fol­lowed. "Abu Bakr was red card­ed in his pre­vi­ous match and should not have played in our match. So we are still await­ing the out­come of that ap­peal. Fol­low­ing their 1-0 de­feat to Joe Pub­lic on May 5 in their CFU Fi­nal Round match Jabloteh lodged a for­mal protest to CFU with re­gards to Abu Bakr's ap­pear­ance in their match af­ter he was red card­ed in his pre­vi­ous match a sec­ond round bat­tle with Sys­tem 3 of St Vin­cent. In their protes, Jabloteh point­ed to the tour­na­ment rules which said play­ers or team of­fi­cials sus­pend­ed shall serve their sus­pen­sion dur­ing the fol­low­ing match of the CFU Club Cham­pi­ons Cup, be it in the cur­rent edi­tion or any fu­ture edi­tion of the tour­na­ment or any tour­na­ment which may, by virtue of its pur­pose, sub­sti­tute the CFU Cham­pi­ons Cup.
