On behalf of the Executive and members of the Delfos Football Club, we extend our heartiest congratulations to the President Mr. Shan Rangasamy, the Chairman Mr. Prenash Ramjas, the Executive and the Young Eagles FC membership on the celebration of the clubs 50th<\/sup> Anniversary.<\/p>\n

This is a milestone for the\u00a0club that was borne out of Laudium during the apartheid era.<\/p>\n

There have been many fine football players and administrators to have come out of the Young Eagles football club.\u00a0 Numerous players were selected to represent the Pretoria District Football Association and the then Transvaal (Gauteng) at provincial competitions over the years.\u00a0 A most notable achievement of the club was having been crowned Transvaal Soccer Board League Champs in 1983.<\/p>\n

Young Eagles also made an application to play in the South African Soccer Federation professional ranks, however, sadly for football, the rest of South Africa would not see Young Eagles showcase their talent and charismatic football at the highest level of non-racial football.<\/p>\n

In the past, names like Mr. Vella Pillay and others were ardent exponents of youth development and the current efforts of the likes of Prenash Ramjas, Shan Rangasamy and Dyalan Chinsammy at the Little League level in the Laudium FA are testament to this.<\/p>\n

Delfos is proud to associate itself with Young Eagles Football Club and has enjoyed many years of competitive football.<\/p>\n

50 Years of selfless service to the community of Laudium and Gauteng must be commended. \u00a0Thank you for keeping football alive and competitive this past 50 years.<\/p>\n

May the club be blessed with many more fruitful years.<\/p>\n
