Mustafa Taleb - our thoughts are with you
Our thoughts and prayers are with one of our members, Under 19’s player Mustafa Taleb.
Just before the TAC strive for Zero round, Mustafa was involved in a serious car accident and was in intensive care.
A lovable kid with a positive outlook on life, his presence has been missed amongst his teammates.
Mustafa suffered two badly broken legs and is still in hospital recovering.
We send him our regards and also to his family and friends who also have suffered immensely going through such a traumatic ordeal.
