MUKAH: It is always nice to see your local assemblyman showing unwavering support to the football team.

This was the case for Tellian assemblyman Royston Valentine who was passionately rallying behind the Sarawak football team.

He was seen together with the 10th division ultras, jumping up and down, cheering the Sarawak team on.

Royston praised the Sarawak men’s football team for their impressive performance and fighting spirit after their 3-2 victory over Pahang in their final Group D match at the Dalat and Mukah Districts Council (MDDM) field on Friday (Aug 16)

Despite failing to advance to the quarter-finals at the Malaysia Games (SUKMA) XXI 2024, he emphasised that the Sarawak team remains close to the hearts of the local fans and the people of Sarawak.

“We are impressed with the team’s spirit and the effort shown by the players. They gave their best, though luck was not on their side for qualifying,” he told reporters after the match.
