We regret to inform you of coach Alton Meiring’s demise, the statement read.
Over the past few seasons, he has been a major supporter of our club, playing for several teams, including our ladies’ squad, juniors, and seniors. His expertise and help are greatly appreciated. Please remember to pray for his family.
Joe da Silva, the chairman of football for Luso Africa, told News24 that everyone connected to the team would miss Meiring terribly. “His parents adored him. Yesterday, our female athletes were in tears,” he remarked. “He’s a terrible loss.
They will miss him because he has been a huge part of their growth. “He is an excellent coach for improvement.
His absence will be greatly felt. He’s a huge loss. “His advice to youngsters in terms of how to attack and score goals was invaluable.
Meiring had moved to Germiston prior to joining the club, where his influence was seen right away, according to Miquela da Silva, a spokesperson for Luso Africa and the daughter of the club chairman.
Meiring first contributed his skills to the ABC Motsepe League squad, but he quickly got engaged with practically every age level in the organization, even coaching the women’s teams. He started with our Castle League (ABC Motsepe League) team essentially, so was with us for two-and-a-half years,” Da Silva stated.
Alton had recently moved to Germiston, therefore the head coach of our Hollywoodbets squad at the time encouraged him to join. “His kids have been playing here for a few years, and his brother coaches here as well.
He was simply present in general. “In the end, he basically became a coach for every squad. He would assist the seniors and coaches of the different age groups. He would fit in with any age group, literally.
Da Silva told News24 that Meiring had been fatally stabbed, but she was unable to elaborate on the circumstances.
