According
to the President of WCRFAA, Mr Yahya Manneh, this is how beautiful the game of
football is; especially at the grassroots level, as you can always expect the
unexpected. He also assured the football fraternity in The Gambia that, come
the next five years, WCR will produce very consistent players in The Gambia by
looking at the structures in their region.
He
finally thanked the Easter U15 sponsorers, FREDERICTON WANDERERS FOUNDATION and

football environment for the children of the region. He also sought sponsorship
