By: Alusine Rehme Wilson 


Assistant Coach Sheku Umaro Kamara has declared that Star Sports Academy are fully focused and highly motivated ahead of their crucial Leone Rock Premier League clash away to Wusum Stars in Makeni on Sunday.

Speaking to AWE Media Sierra Leone, coach Kamara described his side as “highly spirited and focused to win” as they prepare for what is widely seen as one of the standout fixtures of the weekend.

The assistant coach recalled last season’s narrow 1-0 defeat to Wusum Stars at the same venue but insisted his team is determined to turn the tide this time around.

“Makeni is like our second home ground,” Kamara said. 

“We secured our qualification to the Premier League in Makeni. Apart from our desire to seek revenge, our season goal remains the same, to win the Leone Rock Premier League and be crowned champions for the first time in our club’s history,” he affirmed.

Star Sports, currently sitting second on the table with 29 points, head into the encounter in confident mood. 

There are no injury concerns for the Freetown-based side, and the 23-man squad led by Head Coach Amidu Karim wrapped up their final training session on Saturday evening at the Wusum Stadium.

The hosts, Wusum Stars, are ninth on the log with 22 points and will be eager to close the gap as the season intensifies. 

Meanwhile, Star Sports are separated from league leaders Bai Bureh Warriors by just two goals, adding further weight to Sunday’s showdown.

With both clubs chasing their first-ever league crown, the Makeni clash promises to be a fiercely contested battle between two ambitious sides determined to make history.
