BLUE STAR TO GET THREE -
WHEELERS
Asian Football Confederation Vice President and Kalutara
Football League President Mr. Manilal Fernando has
made arrangements to present ten three-wheelers costing
over one million rupees to the Premier League Champions,
Blue Star Sports Club.
Blue Star SC which received half a million rupees
at the Premier League finals, lauded Mr. Fernando's
generous gesture, which was in keeping with a promise
he had given to encourage this team that represents
his home town. According to a spokesman for the team
this award from his personal finances will help the
players as a source of income, as most members of
the team are unemployed. The presentation of these
three-wheelers is expected to be made shortly.
