​After 3-0 win over Mauritania, Sierra Leone’s U17 Coach reassures to make the nation smile more

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson 


After his charges paid off over the weekend against WAFU-A U17 championship host Mauritania, Sierra Leone’s U17 Male team Head Coach Mohamed Lamin Kamara has in post match interview told AWE-Media.SL that his side’s huge 3-0 win on Sunday is because, “We had a good preparation and got the organization right.”

He also said he’s very comfortable seeing his players put on such a commendable performance, although he was initially worried due to their experience. “I think this team is capable of reaching the final and subsequently lift the trophy. That will make Mama Salone smile,” he added.


Commenting on Daniel Deen Sesay who individually put out an outstanding show letting him secure a brace and winning the man of the match award in their 3-0 win over Mauritania, coach Mohamed Lamin Kamara  says, “Daniel is a brilliant and hard working striker, he gives defenders tough time throughout  and it's good for him and the team.


“The difference now is, we are going into our next match against Liberia with much composure. We will go for a win to keep the spirit high. We’re thankfully for the warm support by the Sierra Leoneans in Mauritania, it’s so awesome and I wish to thank the whole country for the various means of support and prayers, as we look forward to a much bigger one in our next fixtures, reacted the coach when asked by Awoko to comment on his next match in championship this Wednesday against their MRU neighbors Liberia.

Sierra Leone, Two other Nations disqualified from AFCON 2024 U17 Qualifiers

By: Abdulrahman Barrie The U17 football teams from Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Guinea Bissau have been disqualified from the 2024 U17 African Cup of Nations competition in Senegal after failing the mandatory MRI test scans. These scans, which determine the age of the players, revealed discrepancies that led to their removal from the tournament. The disqualification follows changes to Article 27.4 of the U17 Africa Cup of Nations regulations, which have tightened the criteria and enforcement of age verification measures. The updated rules stipulate that if a team has more than four players deemed ineligible after the MRI eligibility test, the entire team will be disqualified. The MRI tests, used to enforce age restrictions in youth competitions, are crucial for ensuring fairness. Unfortunately, the teams from these three nations did not meet the age criteria, resulting in their disqualification. This decision has come as a significant disappointment for the young players and their fans, w...

Disturbing snail space Civil works in the Makeni Central Lorry park

By: Ibrahim Jalloh - (Jallomy) The Makeni City Council (MCC) ordered commercial vehicles and business entities to leave the park area for the purpose of upgrading the park. Two weeks were given as the duration of the work. Regrettably, a week plus few days have elapsed with no significant work done. Drivers and business people in the park are completely frustrated and their livelihoods threatened.  Few years ago, drivers and traders were asked out of the park for similar reason but after two weeks they were asked to return to the park with no work done. This was disrespectful and insulting.  We urge MCC to double their efforts as the affected persons are running out of patience.
