Not forgetting to thank the FUFA family who have always put in all the necessary efforts they always put in whenever i needed them, All i can say to the Boys(Cranes) is the that “THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES” Its just a relay run.
May the Almighty Guide me through the rest of my career with my Club and May He help the CRANES prospers more and more!
