Cassidy also noted that through the Sarawak Divisional League 2017, new talent will be selected to represent their division for the prestigious Sarawak Cup 2017 to be held in Mukah.
Through this initiative, he said, it would help to showcase the potential of local talents, especially in the rural areas.
