“The Sports Minister has shown that he is grassroots-oriented. The last time out, we had the Principal’s Cup, which we participated in. Now basketball is in the fore. If we continue in this manner, alot of talents will be unearthed across different sports. This would boost local players discovery and help create healthy competition with those coming from abroad.
