Back and Next - Back and NextCongrats Lamin United FC
Wednesday, February 11, 2009
Editor,
Kindly allow me space in your widely read newspaper to congratulate Lamin United FC for their efforts in reaching the second division of GFA, a highly contested football championship.
This is laudable achievement in football history for the youths and people of Lamin. Thanks to all those who supported the team to reach this level. I have no doubt they will remain in the second division and subsequently to first division if given the moral and financial support by Lamin Youth and Sports Association (LYSA). However, I would like to point out few steps that could help sustain the club, improve its management and financial structures.
Step one: the club needs a neutral management committee that would work with LYSA to design a sustainable structure to manage the team. The committee shall have its own working guide to raise awareness of the club, raise funds in different ways such as fund raising shows, meet philanthropists, annual subscription from citizens and well wishers of the club.
Perhaps the LYSA can make special percentage deduction during their annual football tournaments. Step two: the club should be exposing the players by organising friendly matches. The players’ need special attention and indeed new players should be recruited to fill the gap of dormant players.
The committee should be ready to scarifice, work hard and accountable to the people of Lamin. I wish to register my desire to give maximum support to the club as my contribution. Max Jallow UK.
