“None of this could have been done if we weren’t giv­en the sup­port by the prin­ci­pal and vice prin­ci­pal Mrs Nicole Ri­ley and Mrs Michelle Stoute Lopez. Two won­der­ful ladies who have sup­port­ed the foot­ball in Five Rivers strength-to-strength,” said San­di­ford, who added that the team is pro­vid­ing pos­i­tive en­er­gy.
