Scarcely a little over two weeks since the National Women’s League was officially launched in Makeni by President Julius Maada Bio, his wife and the rest of the football family in Sierra Leone, the league is being received with open arms within and across the country for a number of reasons with many anticipating for regular games to be hosted in their localities.
One of those locals wanting female games to be played in his locality is Osman Conteh, a bike rider in Kabala town for nearly 10 years now. Conteh told Awoko Newspaper at the Yogomaya playing field in Kabala town after the cracker between host Albitaya Queens and Patricia Umu Strikers Football Club from Kambia that he’s had made enough money on the day through transporting passengers from various areas in Kabala to the match venue.
According to Osman, he did not watch the match but he was excited to learn that their own girls of Kabala were playing a female top-tier for the very first time in the nation’s history.
Saying: “I felt proud of our sisters who were composed in the match despite being beaten 0-1, I’m now inspired to watch some of their upcoming games forgoing riding only by half time after I would have made more money from transporting spectators to the field earlier.
“This is why I want more matches to be hosted in Kabala so we will be making more money as bike riders and at the end of the day celebrate our home team as they compete in the first ever national Women’s Football Competition,” he further said.
