Miscellaneous Laventille completed a successful season, finishing second in the Premier Division with player Kareem Charles being named as one of the Top Five players of the of the Year.”
Club CEO Sham Mohammed has also made good his promise to deliver a team bus for the club’s use this season and has maintained that there will be continuing efforts to raise the standards at Laventille United.
“For me it is most satisfying to see the strides made by the club over the past two years. This is a group of young men along with the staff led by Cedric (Hazelwood) that has remained committed and has not given up on hope despite all the ills of society that we are facing today,” Mohammed said.
“Playing football and competing in the NFA is an avenue for these guys to channel their energies into something positive and meaningful which is something that we should all be proud of and touched by in more ways than one. Miscellaneous Marketing will continue to support in whatever way possible as we intend to see the club aim for better and attain higher heights with the intention of securing a better future for the players and trying to make the community a stronger and enjoyable one to be part of,” Mohammed said.

Miscellaneous also hosted an awards ceremony for the club in December at which former national midfielder Densill Theobald was the feature speaker.
