FORMER National player/coach and Administrator of the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) Peter Lashley was remembered in fine style last Saturday with a match between the Georgetown All-Stars and GFC Masters.

Just before the highly contested game the two teams observed a minute of silence for the former national footballer and coach who died tragically two years ago in an accident.
Peter Lashley was a long-serving coach of the GFC club for over eight years, administering his services at the Nursery and Senior levels while playing Masters football for the club. He also coached the BK Western Tigers.
Peter Lashley died the morning of Valentine’s Day in 2014, when he was crushed to death by a truck on Mandela Avenue on his way to work.
His sudden death sent shockwaves throughout the football community.
Meanwhile a moment of silence was also held on Sunday in the GFF Elite STAG league just before the GFC vs Monedderlust game. The game was organised by the GFC Masters Club in honour of the late coach.
