IE, Oilers Disappoint Fans
Draw 0-0 on a Dull Note
 

Thousands of fans and supporters who thronged the Antoinette Tubman Stadium today to cheer Invincible Eleven and LPRC-Oilers to victory were left very disappointed by both teams dismal outing.

IE, wearing their customary yellow and blue strips, played without most of their original players from last season. IE attack was wanting, but their defense was crack, thanks to extra marking by Walter Morgan and Fallah Lahai. First choice IE Goalkeeper Latee Jackson made several brilliant saves.

Oilers, in red and white jersey instead of their regular gold and black colors, were outstanding in every department except that the attackers appeared sluggish and lacked scoring instinct. Morris Dogood missed four goals for Oilers in the first half and three in the second.

The frustration of not scoring, apparently overwhelmed Oilers, so much that striker Samuel Goi punched an IE defender during the second half. Ref Idrissa Kaba wasted no time in giving Goi the marching orders.

The game ended 0-0 on a bland note.

Meanwhile, Defense Invaders and ROZA FC played to a goalless draw yesterday at the National Port Authority stadium in Bushrod Island.
