“I want to first say a big thank you to the LNOC family for such an important donation,” Master Russian said. “To my fellow federation and association leaders, please use these uniforms for their intended purpose and for the common growth of our respective sports.”
LNOC President Cllr. Sylvester Rennie emphasized that the equipment is meant to foster unity and ensure proper representation during local and international assignments.
