Mena Queens Gear-up for First Home Game with New Head Coach Hassan "Zenette" Mansaray

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson


Mena Queens Football Club of Makeni, under their new head coach Hassan Malik "Zenette" Mansaray, is gearing up for their first home game on Sunday, May 11, at Wusum Stadium. 

They will be facing Vem Buck Football Club, a team fighting against relegation, in match day 16 of the 2024/25 Sierra Leone Women’s Premier League.

The said match would be Mansaray’s fourth fixture since he took the reins as head coach of Mena Queens alongside joined the club's new Technical Director, Abdul "German" Bangura, who succeeds Alusine "Abega" Conteh in this position. 

So far, coach Mansaray has made an impressive impact, leading Mena Queens to three remarkable away matches, achieving victories against Sierra Leone Police (1-4), Koya Queens (2-4), and a draw with Mogbwemo Queens (2-2). 

Deservedly, his team collected seven points out of a possible nine from their last three games, instilling a winning spirit within the squad and propelling the club from eighth to fifth place in the standings, currently boasting 22 points, though still 17 points behind the table-toppers, Mogbwemo Queens.

With such a strong start to his tenure, Mansaray aims for a third consecutive win against struggling Vem Buck Football Club, who sit at the bottom of the league table with only five points from 15 matches, the lowest record in the ongoing national women's elite championship. 

Last weekend, Vem Buck managed a narrow 2-1 victory over league newcomers Rising Queens Football Club of Makeni, and they will be hoping to make it two wins in a row. 

But a loss to Mena Queens, however, would further complicate their battle against relegation this season.

Elsewhere, on the same day, Patricia Umu Strikers from Kambia will host Malema Queens from Kenema, while FC Kallon of Freetown and Ram Kamara Football Club from Bo will each take on league champions and current leaders Mogbwemo Queens and Koya Queens from Port Loko district, respectively, in the other match day 16 events of the third season of the Sierra Leone Women’s Premier League, which was established in 2021.
