Makeni Me & My Boys FC was set up by a soldier who wished to give something back to the boys in his local community. Sadly, the local authorities strongly protested his actions, believing that such activities would be counterproductive to the community. The soldier was thrown into prison for three days and badly beaten. Upon his release he continued to fight for his team and eventually won the support of many in the community. To this day, Me & My Boys Football Club represent the determination and courage of the head coach who fought for the team's survival. Me & My Boys plays in the Craig Bellamy Foundation League.
