Finally, Lions are really grateful to Rafiq bhai (Mr. Rafiq Lakhani) for being an excellent patron for the team as well as for the game. Not only he lets Lions call the fantastic Gastonia ground their home field, he always provides excellent post match dishes which are delicacy in any given day. Before this match Lions captain Shashi requested Rafiq bhai to give the inconsistent Lions a pep talk. It worked and Lions responded by thumping Columbia with an under strength team.
