Prince of Wales Secondary School football team presented their Trophy to the Managing Director of RCBank Dr. Ekundayo Gilpin on the 13th of March, 2023 at the Bank’s Head Office, Siaka Steven Street Freetown.
The presentation of the Trophy came after the Prince of Wales Team defeated Ahmadiyya Football Team by 3 goals to 2 in the Western Urban District Inter-Secondary School Competition at the Kingtom Police Field.
The rationale behind the formal presentation of the Trophy to the Managing Director and CEO Dr Ekundayo W. Gilpin is to express their heartfelt appreciation for the motivation Dr Gilpin has given them to participate in the tournament.
Addressing the young lads, Dr. Gilpin congratulated the boys of the school team for a job well done. He also inspired them to be courageous, strong and vigilant at all times. He added that this achievement will bring glory to the school.
Dr. Gilpin further pointed out that it is well over 30 years that the school football team has not been able to win a trophy in the school leagues but they have now changed the narrative.
Meanwhile, there was also the presence of another prominent Prince Walean Mr Christian Dauda, who was on a visit to the bank. Dr. Gilpin and Mr Dauda encouraged the boys to always stand firm to build a good image of the school not only in the area of football but also in the field of academia.
The presentation climaxed with the Managing Director and the school lads singing the melodious school song to reflect and foster Unity and oneness among them.
