LFA Premiership Update!
-LISCR, Barrolle In “Do or Die” 

The Liberia Football Association (LFA) 2009 National league has gained much momentum across the more than five venues with team aiming to outdo each other for silver wear at the end of the campaign.

www.liberiansoccer.com Senior Reporter Roland M. Mulbah brings update of the less than two months old league.

League leader Barrack Young Controller (BYC) will hope to increase her lead at the top of the table when the LFA youthful premier outfit engages another heavy weight in the campaign in the form of Gabriel Johns’ guided LPRC Oilers today at the Nancy Doe pitch in Kakata, Margibi County.

After suffering a 3-0 defeat to strong contender Mighty Barrolle, BYC will hope to secure top spot, but against such burly LPRC Oilers is what observers of Liberian football are keen to see.

With Captain Jacob Goe, top goal scorer, Andrew Foday Swaray, Matthew Dede, Momo Sompon and other in top form, pundits believe Oilers will have mountains to climb.

While it is true that current form is better than experience in modern days’ football, Oilers equally has some talented players in the form of Saylee Swen, Bill Janjay Paytoe, William Jaboe and Captain Solomon Wisseh who are on top of their game.

Verdict: Oilers wins.

 In the last premiership match of today, United Soccer Ambassador Football Club (USA FC) will hope to end win drought when the bottom of the table club meets rejuvenated Gedi and Sons in Unification Town, Margibi County.

USA FC has played nine games and yet to win and could only manage two draws. Verdict: Draw  

Amongst the weekend matches, much attention will be drown to Sunday’s LFA premier league match between sentimental favorite LISCR FC and heavy weight Mighty Barroll.

After a superb 3-0 victory over league leader BYC, the Coach Eric Thompson, alias Christian Cole guided side will hope to take pole position of the table against Mustapha Raji’s LISCR FC.

Reports in many quarters say both presidents, Raji of LISCR FC and Garmondeh Karnga of Barrolle are in dying need of the match with Raji pledging three times the regular game bonus to his players if they put up a win, while Karnga promised to pay players of Mighty Barrolle right at the Antoinette Tubman Stadium, the venue of the crunch match if they secure a win.

A win for Barrolle and a negative result for BYC on today against LPRC Oilers will see the red and white outfit at the top of the 18 teams’ LFA premier log. Verdict: Barrolle Wins

In other matches in the LFA premiership on Sunday, May 10, Mighty Blue Angel will battle Jubilee in Unification Town (verdict MB Angel wins); while Monrovia Club Breweries and Devereux FC will engage each other at the D. Tweh pitch in new Kru Town.

 Meanwhile Jasmine Rangers lost yesterday 2-0 to Adorence FC, while Monrovia Club Breweries and UMC Roots settled to a goalless draw.
