“Our club owner and supporter Sham Mohammed of the Miscellaneous Group has been offering whatever backing is necessary this season and having him place his support behind Laventille is a major boost for the club. His efforts have helped us tremendously and is a good example of what partners or other corporate citizens can do to help communities like Laventille through football and sport,” Hazelwood said.
