Abdul Bangura of Saint Francis senior secondary school was the player to watch as he headed twice into the Alharkan nets to give his side a 2-0 win but failed to score an 80th minute penalty to would had score hat-trick.

Both football volleyball actions and volley ball actions in the league resumes on Monday in the two venues (Wusum and Teko Barracks stadium) in the following fixtures:

JSS: Kulafi Vs Royal Academy and Benevolent Lama St. Vs Kankalay Masuba while for the SSS: SLMB Vs Every Nation and Sylvaus Vs Ansarul.

Much is however, much is expected from the supporters of various schools, Bombali District MBSSE, PHE school heads, Teachers and Pupils to ensure that they refrain from violence at all games, and for players of both volleyball and football games to be solely school going pupils and not outsiders as it has been shallowly in previous years.
