The Head Coach of Luniburg, Omar Bah, popularly known as Lilly believed the secret behind Lunibury’s success in Bakau qualifiers, is due to the fact that every member of the team is committed and dedicated.

Having guided the Youngsters to their first-ever Nawettan appearance in his first year-in-charge, Lilly however remained confident that Luniburg will make a big impact in the summer championship.
