Orange Walk football mourns

It is with a heavy heart that we report that Raul Bull Cantun has transitioned. This former baller played with and against the best of the best during the amateur inter district era

Bull was committed to the sport after retirement and remained actively involved in the promotion and organization of football in his beloved Palmar Village. His input was instrumental in the development of this page and he did not hesitate to correct us when we were attempting to get our facts straight

In the words of Mark Chavarria Sr.
“Bull represented football at all levels; player, manager, sponsor and loyal aficionado.”

On behalf of the Orange Walk football fraternity and those across the country who came in contact with this General, we offer our deepest condolences to his family and friends

May his soul rest in peace and be accepted in God’s Kingdom.

NOTE: Bull also served the Jewel as a BDF soldier for many years

Rest in peace soldier 🫡
