“We are very excited about the membership and we are very hopeful and positive that CFA will grow to greater heights.
“The Cowbell Football Academy is our baby and who wouldn’t be excited when his child grows.
“We try to emphasize little things where we can take care of children.
“We have always had the grassroots football initiative, where we identify young talents, get them off the streets and get them to learn about football and sport not because we have some ulterior motive but because we don’t want them to be exposed to all sort of vices or be used for criminal offences and all sorts.”
