He added that his village this year experienced low anti-social behaviors such as alcohol consumption and causing disturbances in the village due to the sports engagement.
“Our young people really enjoyed the event,” he said.
“I want to see the event continue this year with new ideas to engage more young people in sports to lure them (young people) from alcohol and other illegal activities.”
