LFA Releases Knockout League Fixture

 

The draw for the 2002 Knockout national league has taken place in Monrovia. Speaking at the draw held at the Antoinette Tubman Stadium today, the Vice President for Operations at the Liberia Football Association, Siaka A. Sheriff, said the Knockout league would commence immediately following the end of the national league, probably the first week in September.

An LFA Press and Public Affairs release issued today said Mr. Sheriff expressed thanks to the teams and stressed that without them, the LFA would be an incomplete house.

The LFA release said Liberia’s Knockout champion LPRC-Oilers has been drawn against Second Division side Mighty Electrons.

The draw which this year pitched almost all second division clubs against first division clubs was welcomed by the teams through their representatives present at the occasion.

Knockout pairings include Cardinals versus ROZA, BUSA versus LTC Satellite, Ducor Defenders versus LISCR, Mark Pros versus Sinkor United, Devereux versus NPA Anchors, Black Star versus Ajami Star, Small Town International versus Monrovia Club Breweries and Defense Invaders versus Watanga FC.

Others are Karn United versus Invincible Eleven, Olympic FC versus Millennium Stars, LMA Green Peppers versus Young Survivors, St. Anthony versus St. Joseph Warriors, Roots FC versus Mighty Barrolle, Alliance FC versus Might Blue Angels, Haja FC versus Bassa Defenders and SOS Trotters versus Zelors.

The release added that LFA Secretary General Yanqueh Borsay speaking at the ceremony said the dates for the various matches would be announced later.
