Southern Stars match fixers to testify against teammates Soccer Victoria December 20, 2013 - 11:33AM Two men convicted of match fixing earlier this month will testify against their former teammates and coach, a court has heard. David Obaze, Nicholas McKoy and Zaya Younan are charged with fixing matches involving the Southern Stars during the 2013 Victorian Premier League season. Mr Obaze and Mr McKoy were players for the Stars and Mr Younan was the coach. The accused faced the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday for a committal mention. Magistrate Duncan Reynolds heard that the defence sought to call a group of former players to give evidence at the trial about a meeting at a Subway restaurant involving the accused. Magistrate Reynolds accepted that the players should appear, despite prosecutor Vicky Prapas saying that cross-examining them about the meeting was a "fishing expedition." Reiss Noel and Joe Woolley, who played with Mr Obaze and Mr McKoy under Mr Younan, will be Crown witnesses. Noel and Woolley pleaded guilty on December 6 to three and four charges respectively. The charges related to the number of matches they helped fix. The court heard Woolley and Reiss, both 24 and British nationals, were involved in either deliberately manipulating the games on the field, or instructing teammates to do so. Mr Obaze and Mr McKoy, both 24, and Mr Younan, 37, face eight charges relating to match fixing and will reappear in court on July 14.
