  1. Lasana….what is this First Citizens All Star Student Athletes Team…..well everyone who plays in the SSFL is supposed to be a student….lol…

  2. Can’t believe that is the paltry sum given as prize money to the winners of competitions. $3,000- $1,000 . And $30,000 to the premiership champs. Boots for the squad will surpass that sum. Unbelievable.

  3. Congratulations Tyrel Emmanuel. Well deserved!

  4. Lovely ceremony this morning at the Cycling Centre.
