This astounding achievement is not just a testament to individual talent, but an inspirational model of determination, team effort and diligence. The success of the SD Raiders FC is a collective endeavour. Each player has contributed to this triumphant season, demonstrating sporting excellence at every game. Their commitment and tireless support for one another on and off the pitch has been truly moving. I would also like to acknowledge the outstanding contributions of individuals recognised at the 2024 Gala Awards: Taiana Almeida, awarded Player of the Year; Natasha Pentecost, awarded Goalkeeper of the Year; and the team's coach, Zakaria Abboud, who won Coach of the Year. These awards reflect not only personal dedication but also the spirit of teamwork that defines this exceptional club.
