League:
Bill Neewray Inspires BEX FC To 2-2 Draw
-Engineered Equalizer
One of the Liberia's youthful midfielders,
Bill Neewray, alias "Sekou Bamba", inspired his team BEX FC to a 2-2
draw over the weekend in the Swiss league where he plies his
professional football trade.
According to reports monitored by our
correspondent, Bill Neewray, who plays inside right position for his
team engineered the much needed equalizer to save his team a point in
a league match involving another Swiss team.
Playing as though the result of the match
depended on their lives, BEX FC players took the game to their
opponents. The opposing too was equally prepared for the match,
evidenced by the two goals it scored.
With time ticking on the clock, Bill Neewray
started a promising buildup in midfield with good
distribution, something which resulted to him giving a
defense-splitting pass to Alain Bare, a former player of French club
Olympique Lyon to score the much needed equalizer.
The jubilation that greeted the goal almost
caused the stadium to collapse, as players of BEX FC celebrated by
carrying Bill Neewray shoulder high.
At the end of the match, BEX FC climbed to third place just
three points behind the league leaders.
Meanwhile, player Neewray in a telephone conversation
with our sports desk has given God the praise who made it possible for
him to exhibit such a fine performance in the match. "I am grateful to
God who continues to give me the strength to perform for my club," he
added.
Quizzed whether he would be available for the Lone
Star, Ethiopia match, he said once he is invited by the technical
staff, he will be willing to come and contribute his quota to his
country. "It is my duty to serve my country when called upon. I will
make myself available to fly my country's flag in Ethiopia when
selected," he said.
Bill Neewray was one of the few Liberian players taken
to Switzerland by Jonathan Sogbie. Others who benefitted from Jonathan
Sogbie are Janjay Innis, Josephus Yenay, Louis Crayton and Alex
Browne.
Crayton, Innis and Neewray are still playing in
Switzerland, while Josephus Yenay is reportedly plying his trade in
Germany. Alex Brown is said to be in Ghana.
