“From the football fraternity we would like to thank everyone who helped us from the zone level to district and later to Regional we believe the results we got. For those whom things didn’t go according to their expectations let’s for give the committee and go plan better for other tournaments. We have however observed a few challenges and among the fields we need to work on age cheating takes center stage. This is going to affect our teams which makes them weak after prescreening before Nationals. So all teams that will go through let’s check our boys well before prescreening.”
