Going for Power!

June 14, 2006

In other parts of the World the ladies are playing a key role in developing the game at all levels; training in the areas of coaching, management, medicine and other areas are being put in the proper prospective.

The Iron Lady, Tchiclas, who is the former owner of premiership side Madelodi Sundowns, nick named the "Brazilian," is playing a key role in the development of the game in South Africa.

Also, Nigeria's ex-international star Mercy Arkidia is doing the same in her country.

In Liberia there is need to follow suit, and the requisite authorities need to take the lead in encouraging it.

As the Oilers Sports Association (OSA) gears up for the elections on Saturday, June 17, reports gathered say Madam Geraldine Doe Sheriff is keen to run for the Presidency of the association.

Many have welcomed the move by Madam Sheriff and feel she should be afforded the opportunity to contribute her quota at the apex of management of the game in the country.

They said Madam Sheriff has a wealth of experience, after playing the game prior to the civil conflict, where she became a star with the Lioness.

Also, as President of the country's leading football female club Titoe United Sisters, who are the current champs, Lady Zico, as she is fondly known due to her exquisite style of football during her days as a footballer, has shown purpose and command in executing her managerial functions.

They noted that as the date for the Oilers Sports Association (OSA) elections draw nearer; there is a serious need to give the female football Iron Lady, Madam Geraldine Doe Sheriff, the chance to ascend to the Oilers top post.

"The highly exalted position of the Presidency for the Oilers Sports Association (OSA) would be an idea task without an erudite Sports Administrator," they indicated.

Madam Sheriff's quest for the Oilers Presidency will indeed serve as a motivation for other sports ladies to get on board.

She worked with bulk of the players, and her bid for the Presidency could make a difference.

Though, the association has not yet released the guard-lines for the pending elections but reports have it that the incumbent President Sartee A. Sartee will not be contesting. The election is schedule for next Wednesday June 21, instead of Saturday June 17 as been reported in the media.
