“I however wish to stress that the 2019/2020 season is a marathon and not a sprint so this is not the time to start celebrating or resting on our laurels.
“To this end, I want to urge everyone involved with Rivers United to redouble our efforts in 2020.
“This is time for resourcefulness, hard work, selflessness, putting the interests of Rivers United first and uniting for a common goal and purpose.
