Pine Hill FC names a new captain ahead of a run of away games

Pine Hill FC has officially handed the captain’s armband to center-back Duc Tam, who has spent five seasons at the club. The decision followed a secret ballot in the dressing room.

The coaching staff praised Duc Tam’s leadership at the back and his consistency: he has played every minute of all 11 games since the start of the season, picking up just one yellow card.

The new captain’s first test is a run of three away games — on the road, Pine Hill has collected only four points from five trips so far.
