May 2, 2006
The LFA championship chase continues on Sunday as Liberia's
traditional rivals Mighty Barrolle and Invincible Eleven (IE) losing
three vital points in their respective positions, while Alliance FC
remains on course of cruising back to the premiership.
The Rollers lost to reigning champ LPRC- Oilers 1-0, thanks to an
80th minute goal from the pacy Mark Jedoe at the Nancy Doe Sports
pitch in Kakata, Margibi County.
Gangling striker David Tarpeh, alias Jacques Chirac, was the
architect of the goal as his beautiful piece of improvisation caught
the Red Boys rearguard of Hallie Lahai bewildered.
He then released Jedoe who slotted the ball past an out of form
Piscal Karblee to the delight of the Oilers bench.
The win puts the champions at the top of the log with 14 points in
all of their eight first phase matches, while the former champions,
Barrolle that squandered several chances remains at third spot with
12 points, and two matches on hand.
In the first pairing, Alliance FC continued their impressive run in
the First division when they came from a goal down in the last
quarter of the match to frustrate struggling Barrack Young
Controllers (BYC) 2-1.
The win puts the Haddad boys, who are still undefeated, on top of
the tree with 13 points in seven matches, while the youthful BYC
side is still at the bottom of the tree with only a point.
At the Unification Town Sports pitch, Invincible Eleven's woes
continued when they succumbed to promising USA-Invaders 0-1.
Ruthless striker Alfred Jaryen, formerly of second Division outfit
Paynesville Young Controllers (PYC), got his side winner.
But it was the yellow boys misfit midfielder Selvester "Bayray" Dweh
who had all the blame after wasting his side penalty which should
have being the equalizer.
The win takes USA to second spot with 12 points in six matches,
while IE who were walloped in their last match 6-0 by Gedi & Sons
are lying third from bottom with seven points in six matches.
