Blue Celtics F.C

03/05/2020

Fellow football lovers, a year has passed now since our last visit to Vaalbank, were we played and lost to Amajuba FC, it was a day of loss yet an enjoyable moment.

We hope all you well during this lockdown and urge that we all adhere to the COVID-19 lockdown regulations during this pandemic period by staying at home to flatten the spread curve.

Stay alive, keep fit and may we meet again.

Regards from the
Chairman
