Following a few years of inactivity due to administrative challenges, the Timehri Panthers Football Club (TPFC) is back up and running and set to participate in the East Bank Football Association (EBFA) leg of the GFF/Pele Alumini Frank Watson U15 Intra Association League which kicked off on Saturday last at the Grove Playfield.
Taking the lead to organise the club whilst ensuring that the youths in the area are gainfully occupied as regards football and to have the opportunity to showcase their skills with the ultimate aim of donning national colours, is former goalkeeper of the club, Adrian Gonsalves.

The club’s Under-15 team was present at the March Pass on Saturday last and is eager to get cracking. EBFA President Franklin Wilson complimented Gonsalves for stepping up at a crucial time to bring some direction to the club which has been one of the main pillars on the East Bank.
Wilson expressed joy for the youths in the area which he said are talented and just need someone to mobalise and give them direction. President of the Guyana Football Federation, Wayne Forde was also on hand on Saturday last and also praised Gonsalves for taking the lead.
The EBFA in association with Dion Inniss, GFF Executive Member with responsibility for the EBFA took the opportunity to present a number of bibs, jerseys and a football to Gonsalves as a means of encouragement.
The association would also be working with the club on finalising a new constitution as well as overseeing elections of a new body in the near future.
