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.

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.
