It’s been a special afternoon and we the players really relish this opportunity and we look forward doing this from time to time ”

“It is difficult and bad when kids are dumped after birth and it’s even good enough that some people pick them up and train them to become better people. I urge everyone to keep supporting these set of people as they aren’t as privileged as many of us ”
