Bong County are through to the semi finals of the football verson of
the on going National County Sports Meet.
They did so with a famous 1-0 win over dispirited Margibi County on
Sunday at the ever popular Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex.
Aliue Kamara with the goal for the former champions with just 2
minutes into extra time.
Bong County really out played Margibi and caused them run out of ideas
for most part of the match.
They enjoyed the better hand of the dominance but failed to transform
them with their strike force looking visionless.
But despite that their Head Coach Cooper Sannan was quite delighted
with the win.
“It meant a lot to me and I believe the strategy we disgined really
worked”.
“We decided using the four tripe two in the first half and when we
found out that it wasn’t working we used the 4-3-3 which gave us the
result”.
Coach Sannan also paid tribute to his opponents.
“They were one of the favorites and they really proved that I must
admit”.
Well coach Cooper direct opponent Isaac Youngway thinks his side
weren’t just decisive on the evening.
“We had goals to score but we missed our chances. In football, what
you put in is what you get. My players waren’t focused and I don’t
know what really happened”.
Sunday’s last quarterfinal outing saw fans favorites Nimba County
soundly edging out Lofa County 2-0.
Anthony kegbleh opened the scoring for them on 21st minute from a
wonderful strike before Moses Lasaley sealed things up for them on
85th minute after a crazy error with in the Lofa County defence.
The result means Nimba will now play Bong County in what promises to
be a flashing semifinal meeting which comes on later this week.
In kickball Nimba County defeated Gbapolu Counrty by 17 -2 home runs.
Margibi County progressed to the semifinals with a 6-3 homeruns
victory over Grand Kru County.
