As Issa Apex strikes halt team win drought, Wusum Stars SLPL rescue mission continues today

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson 


Following what has been described as a hard fought for 1-0 win over Freetown visitors East End Tigers last Sunday courtesy of their new striker Issa Apex Tarawalie from Bombali Sebora Football Club who netted his first for "the Northern Rock."

The Makeni based Sierra Leone Men’s Premier League outfit which only returned to winning ways  a week ago after staying winless for nearly two months snatched a second win in this season’s National Men’s Top-Tier  during their match day-14 encounter, thanks to their new acquisition forward Issa Apex Tarawalie form district rivals Bombali Sebora FC’s 43rd minutes goal which turned out to be the match’s lone goal.

Tarawlie had said in a post game interview that it was a pleasing moment for him that his maiden top-tier goal as well as his first for his new club was enough to return the club to winning ways after going on a win drought for over ten weeks in the ongoing champions.


He has promised to score more goals for the club to let them secure successive wins in their remaining matches for the first round and move from the rock bottom of the table before the second and final round of this season’s championship.

Meanwhile, there was low attendance of home fans at the Wusum Stadium except for a few sports lowing fans and secret society men, as majority of the Wusum Stars Football Club supporters have since announced to boycott all the teams games until they return to winning ways in the ongoing championship which has saw them in a very bad shape in start of this season’s league.

However, the club which finished 3rd in last season’s National Men’s Top-Tier after they returned to the championship from eleven–(11) years long relegation leave  is set to its rescue mission will continue this Sunday when they meet FC Johansen in their match day-15 SLPL tie which is a must win for the team which now perishes at the rock bottom of the table battling to save their necks from relegation at the end of the season.

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...

Senegal, first African team to beat England, but not first to score three goals

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson Claim: Soccer World HQ, in a Facebook post , claimed that Senegal is the first African team to beat England and the first to score three goals against them. Verdict: Partly True! Senegal is the first African team to beat England, but not the first to score three goals against them. Full Text The England senior men’s national football team, nicknamed the “Three Lions,” played their first match against Scotland in 1872. That match ended goalless but marked the beginning of an intense soccer rivalry between both nations, dubbed the “Auld Enemy.” Since 1872-2025, the England national team has achieved its 1000-game milestone in November 2019 when they played Montenegro at the Wembley Stadium. England's all-time head-to-head record shows that they’ve played a whopping 1072 matches against 100 countries, won 615 games, drew 255, and lost 200.

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.
