A little over one hundred schools comprising of Primary, Junior and Secondary schools within Bombali District participated in this year’s school leagues.

In December last year, the MSSBE Bombali postponed the league finals until further notice and didn’t advance any reasons for the postponement.

However, Northern Times has learnt that, the school league finals which was postponed is as a result of “refusal and dalliance of the supply and the distribution processes of medals, trophies and other awards that were supposedly meant to be delivered to Education District offices across the country to help boost the schools leagues but unfortunately, these materials are still in the purview of the Ministry locked up in it stores at its headquarters in Freetown”.

Though the local office here has remained tight lipped on above, but has assured School Heads, PHE Teachers, sport lovers and other league followers that they are “assiduously working towards a grand braking wrap up in this year’s football and volleyball school leagues than ever before”.
