Morton: ‘We will see’ if Robinson is captain

Cecoy Robinson is expected to be included in the PHC Zebras squad for their Premier Division contest away to North Village tomorrow, but it remains unclear whether he will wear the captain’s armband.

The experienced forward missed PHC’s game against Dandy Town Hornets last weekend. He waas absent amid speculation that he was serving a one-game suspension and was stripped of the captaincy “indefinitely” for an incident that marred the 9-0 defeat of Flanagan’s Onions on the opening day of the league season.

Robinson lost his cool after opening the scoring at Goose Gosling Field and got involved in a dispute with Scott Morton, the Zebras coach, who then substituted him for striker Dunte Albuoy.

When approached, Morton confirmed that Robinson is in his plans for tomorrow’s clash with Village at Bernard Park, but would not say whether he will continue as captain.

“Cecoy will be back in the line-up this week,” Morton said.

But when asked if Robinson is still the captain, Morton said: “We will see.”

He added: “Everything is back to normal. If he has [the captaincy] he has it and if he doesn’t then the team still operates and he is still an important player.

“Cecoy is always a leader in the team, so he will just continue to be the leader that he is. That’s all we expect of him and a band on your arm doesn’t separate that.

“It was just a storm in a teacup. All is good in the PHC camp; everyone is back on the same page and we are moving on.”

PHC are level on points with three other teams, including champions Robin Hood, Devonshire Cougars and Village, but are first on goal difference.
