Assuring of its continued support towards ensuring that the tournament is held annually, Wambai thanked the participants for their degree of involvement stressing that “concerted efforts were been made to ensure that the yearly grant given to the Dolphin Club by the Naval Headquarters is restored.<\/p>\n

“We will also ensure to bring out a program that is deliberately designed to catch them young within the barracks community and environs to have more membership from the early ages.<\/p>\n

“I celebrate with the winners and urge those that did not win to continue to work hard and improve their games in subsequent tournaments,” Admiral Wambai reiterated.<\/p>
