Lamin told reporters shortly after a successful completion of the much-talked about GFA congress at the GFA Technical Training Centre in Yundum on Thursday.
"I and the people of CRR expect a lot from the newly elected GFA executive and I would also like to seize this opportunity to appeal to them so that they can consider us seriously in order to help develop sports in our area," Jabbi added.

"I believe they will deliver because if you look at the executive members, you realise that there is no new face in sports, because Seedy, Omar, King Colley and Halla have all done significantly in the development of sports with a lot of experiences before they are given the task to serve the Gambian people in their various positions," he stated.
