The kids mounted immense pressure on Barrolle in an attempt to find the equalizer with top goal scorer Andrew Swaray, alias Foday, Captain Jacob Goe and Matthew Dede leading the attack in the Coach Abraham Sese 4-3-3 formation.

Goa came very close to reducing the score after being connected by danger man Foday, but Barrolle goaltender in the for of Samuel Cooper was up to the task to save the red and white outfit.

Sam Andrew, who has been criticized in many quarters due to his lack of goal scoring, ended  his goal drought with a cleaver finish to see Mighty Barrolle take a 2-0 lead at half time.

“The win is vital, but I think we will take our proper position (1^st place) when we meet LISCR FC on Sunday.

A win for us and depending on the result from LPRC Oilers and BYC match on Sunday, which I foresee a draw, will mean we take pole position of the table,” the veteran Liberian sports administrator noted in a rather positive tone.

As for his part, the president of BYC Mr. Sekou Konneh said “We are not deterred by the defeat. We lost to the nation rival in football, Mighty Barrolle.

But I think you saw reasons why we are at the top of the league table with such beautiful football being played by the kids.
