The management of Dolphins Football Club of Port Harcourt has commended the Rivers State Government and the state Governor, Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, for their support when the club was passing through the jaws of relegation in just ended season.
The club’s General Manager, Dumbo Awanen, stated that he can only thank God, the Rivers State Government and the sports ministry.
Awanen: “They supported us all through the season.
“All of the government, commissioner, players, coaches and fans all stood by us and I want to thank all of them for their prayers and support.
“For the government and ministry, they ensured monies were paid on time and for the players, they gave their all, especially on the last day, to ensure that we won and stayed in the top flight.”
The General Manager also said the fans of the club come in for mention because despite the poor run of the club, they kept faith and didn’t give up on them.
Dolphins experienced the same thing last season as they also needed a 2-0 win on closing day against Rising Stars to stay afloat.
In last Sunday’s game, Emeka Atuloma’s effort was enough to keep the 1997, 2004 and 2011 League winners afloat.
