SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1984

+THIS SOCCER PITCH RENOVATION PROJECT IS THE RESULT OF EFFORTS BY THE SAM MUN TSA FISHERMEN, LOCAL COMMUNITY LEADERS AND THE GOVERNMENT, SHE SAID.

SHE SAID THAT WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT, YOUNG FISHERMEN, WHO HAD A GOOD REPUTATION IN LOCAL SPORTS ACTIVITIES SUCH AS THE DRAGON BOAT RACE, WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE MORE PHYSICAL TRAINING SO THAT THEY COULD DO BETTER IN SPORTS.

+HOWEVER, IT IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT THAT APART FROM RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES, YOUNG PEOPLE SHOULD ALSO PARTICIPATE IN OTHER EVENTS ORGANISED BY VARIOUS GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS AND THE DISTRICT BOARD SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF DISTRICT AFFAIRS,+ MISS CHENG SAID.

SHE URGED RESIDENTS IN THE DISTRICT TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS AND TO VOTE IN THE DISTRICT BOARD ELECTIONS ON MARCH 7 NEXT YEAR.

EARLIER IN THE DAY, A DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION CUP SOCCER TOURNAMENT WAS HELD AMONG SIX FISHERMEN TEAMS FROM VARIOUS AREAS IN THE DISTRICT.
