In Kenema and Makeni, Men’s 1st Division Playoff takes Proper-shape

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson 


After a weeklong of competitive football contests in Kenema and Makeni between 10 teams that respectively finished as the top two teams in the five administrative football regions, the race to secure a ticket as one of the best three teams from the ongoing Men’s 1st division playoffs to next season’s Sierra Leone Premier League has heightened.


In the two groups A and B consisting of 5 teams each respectively based in the Northern and Eastern cities of Makeni and Kenema, the qualification hopes of two teams namely Freetown City Football Club with 5points and Edmond Michael Football Club have been shattered after losing their final group matches on Friday to Great Scarcies and Gulf 2-1 and 3-0 respectively at the Wusum and Kenema city Stadiums.


As it stands, today’s matches to be played at the Wusum, Magburaka, Kenema city and Kay School playing groups between Group-A’s Real Republicans versus Sierra Rutile FC, and  Sahid Conteh-U FC versus Great Scarcies as well as Group-B’s Bombali Sebora versus Lamboi FC, and Lauwa FC versus Gulf Football Club will produce the top four teams that will progress to the playoffs semifinals to be hosted in at the Wusum Stadium in Makeni where the eventually finalists and best looser will receptively earn their promotion to the national top-tier replacing relegated Sierra Leone Police FC, Anti Drug and RSLAF Football Clubs.
