| New Committee Line Up For WWFC Woodlands Wellington
Football Club announces changes in Executive Committee as Francis
Gomez completes his term of office as Chairman of the club on 30
November 2007.
Hon Secretary Alex Louis:
" On behalf of WWFC's Executive Committee, Players, Coaches
and Fans, I would like to extend our gratitude and appreciation
to Francis Gomez who undoubtedly led the club into an era where
WWFC is highly regarded as a team consistently challenging for local
honours in the S-League.
He must be credited with leading the club to its first major trophy
in its history, winning the SingTel League Cup this year.
Francis's strong corporate experience has played a vital role in
enhancing and strengthening the management system at the Club. Importantly,
Francis must be accorded due credit for ensuring financial stability
to the club. We wish him well in his future endeavours.
The club also extends its heartfelt thanks to SembCorp for its
sponsorship over the years and looks forward to it's continued Sponsorship
in 2008.
The club will endeavour to do its best to make their investment
and trust in WWFC worthwhile."
Francis joined the management of WWFC as Committee Member in 2001
when SembCorp Power & Gas sponsored WWFC. He then rose to assume
the post of Deputy Chairman in 2004 and Chairman from 2006.
Always passionate about the sport, Francis will always be credited
with several "firsts" for WWFC.
Top of the list was the SembCorp Power & Gas Challenge in 2003
where WWFC invited Selangor, Penang and Kedah for a pre season tournament
in Singapore that turned out to be a resounding success.
Never was such a tournament featuring the traditional powerhouses
of Malaysian football had been organised before by a S-League club.
Taking over from 1 December 2007 is Jayadev Unnithan, PBM, who
served as Chairman during the 2005 S-League season. A senior grassroots
leader in Woodlands CCC, Jayadev has extensive experience in grassroots
activities that will allow WWFC to engage the community in various
events to position the club as one for the community.
Also on board the revamp management committee is Tang Weng Fei,
a former Chairman of the club. He will be the Club Advisor, adding
more valuable experience to the management team. Tang was also the
former President of the SAAA (now SAA).
The Management Committee will carry out its functions and operations
through various proactive sub-committees constituted and tasked
to oversee vital areas of Club Management, namely: Team Management,
Community Outreach, Clubhouse / Fan Club Management, Fund Raising
and Discipline.
