Mighty
Barrolle Bow To IE
By Julu M. Johnson, Jr.
The first match between the bitter archrivals of
Liberian football, Mighty Barrolle and Invincible Eleven (IE) was held
over the weekend in the 2005 national football league.
Mighty Barrolle won the league title last year, while
IE finished in second place, but the two giants of Liberian football
have found the going to be tough this season.
However, during the match that took place before a
record crowd at the Antoinette Tubman Stadium (ATS), IE collected a
1-0 win over the Rollers on Sunday.
The match was courtesy of a defensive blunder by stylish stopper
Solomon Grimes, that second half substitute Khalifa Kromah made use of
and scored in the 55th minute.
Mighty Barrolle had most of their chances missed in the first half in
the presence of their president Lewis Browne and club veteran James
Salinsa Debbah.
Prior to the match, Mighty Barrolle and IE have each won one match,
lost two and drew one to give them four points respectively.
With the second victory of the season in five matches, IE now has
seven points in the Liberian premier league.
