In LBF League:
LPRC Oilers Avenge On Mighty Barrolle
-As Uhuru Kings Steal IE’s Show
It was one of the best games to be played at the Sports Commission in
recent times, when LPRC Oilers and Mighty Barrolle took on each other
in the LBF League.
The match was Oilers’ last in the regular season and needed to win to
put herself in a good position to avoid meeting a stronger team in the
play-off.
The Sensational Oilers had to do everything to win, but Barrolle was
not an easy nut to crack. Parading their regular squad of Barchue
Toure, Vessaillie Yarkpazuo, Porte, Philip Kperue, Charles Cummings,
Kiawu, Exodus Gant, among others, Oilers put up a tough resistance
from start to finish.
On the other hand, Mighty Barrolle, featuring Richard Martin, Jethro
Bing, Reuben Marshall, Emmanuel Potter, Otis Nyanneh, Desmond Johnson,
among others performed to expectation for almost the entire game
except in the last quarter when things went bad for them.
Emmanuel Potter controlled proceedings well for Barrolle, while
Barcheu Toure did likewise for LPRC Oilers. But due to the work rate
of center Porte and Vesaillie Yarkpazuo, Oilers was able to over power
Mighty Barrolle.
The victory for Oilers means the Oil Boys have avenged the defeat they
suffered in the first phase of the league at Barrolle’s hand. Both
teams have already qualified for the play-offs, while they are
expected to be joined by NPA Pythons and Uhuru Kings.
In fact the four teams are only playing now for position to determine
who meets whom.
The first game yesterday saw Royal Legends beating Sacbase, 87-65
points.
In other weekend clashes, K-Deltas beat Timberwolves in the female
division with Lovetta Bailey and Amie Weah scoring significant points.
On Saturday, T-Chons broke Stephen Tolbert Estate Flames unbeaten
record with 81-80 points victory in the first division. The second
game saw Uhuru King stealing the show from IE in the last quarter to
win the vital points. The match ended 68-67 points.
