After a day of high drama and comical excitement, the Crenston Boxhill led team retained control of the Jamaica Football Federation, surviving a vote of no confidence. The total number of JFF delegates in attendance at Munro College in St Elizabeth was 104. Of those, 51 voted against the no confidence motion and 53 voted in favor of it. For the no confidence motion to have been achieved at least 2/3 of the delegates needed to vote in favor of the motion.
The news team on the ground stated that it was a most disgraceful affair. Quite a few delegates attended the meeting with only one item on their agenda … ‘To get rid of Boxhill’. Others have two, ‘run Boxhill and fire Gibson’. Many were in agreement that the behavior displayed by the anti Boxhill section of the crowd was embarrassingly disgraceful. The scene was so bad, somebody commented ‘bwoy this feel like the 70's, communism vs capitalism. In fact some argue that this may have contributed to the middle of the road delegates backing away from supporting the motion.
Well, it is over … for now, and many will argue that it is the right decision. The Captain and crew seemed too anxious for power and moreover it is only right for Boxhill to complete his tour of duty. Now Boxhill knows there is no time for posturing, if he doesn’t get up and represent, he will be history come the next election
