De Youngsters’ coach, Girdon Connor, said: “I wish to say congratulations to the team again on an amazing season. For me, it was not simply winning the title but the way it was done. I was truly impressed with the quality of play, maturity and growth of many players and the team. I may not be hopping and jumping around with excitement, but inside it means a lot to me. As a team, the work was put in and the results proved which team was the best this year.”
He urged his players to remain humble and to work even harder next season; to enjoy the feeling of being a champion; and to begin the work to repeat their championship next year.
