The Ascension Football Tournament has been postponed following advice from Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith until the tournament protocols are reviewed by Chief Medical Officer Dr. Roshan Parasram.

Griffith met with Ascension organisers and urged them to liaise with the Ministry of Health before proceeding so as to avoid a repeat of the Central T10 Cricket Tournament fiasco. The police stopped a Semi-Final contest because a crowd in excess of a thousand had gathered around the ground, in a clear breach of the health protocols and caused a heavy traffic pile up.

Ascension Director Richard Ferguson confirmed that the competition is now on hold 'pending approval from the CMO' and said he had sent the Tournament protocols to the CMO.

The Ascension Football Tournament was due to kick off on Friday with a Division One double header in La Horquetta.
