The Law Department of Fourah Bay College will kick off its annual Inter-Class Football Gala tournament today at the X-ray Arena, SS Camp and continues tomorrow.
Before this time, the Law Society had received some football items donated to them by the Western Area Football Association (WAFA) which also provided them with match officials to officiate in the competition.
The Secretary General of WAFA, Benjamin Gordon, noted that as a former student of the law society, he was pleased to have rendered his help to the department in his own little way. He said no sooner he saw the letter from the President of the Law society requesting for their help, than he had to respond to him immediately. He added that his door is always open whenever the department needs his help.
Speaking to Politico, the President of the Law Society, Mohamed Wurie Bah, confirmed that they had received some items from WAFA for the gala which is an annual tradition that the department usually organises for its general students.
“There are four classes at the LLB program. We will play amongst ourselves. After the knockout stage, the remaining two teams will then progress to the finals of the competition”, he highlighted.
Bah expressed his appreciations to the Executive of WAFA on behalf of his department and disclosed that this year’s total prize money is six-million five hundred thousand Leones (6,500,000). The winner will carry home Three Million Leones (3,000,000) and the runners-up Two Million Leones (2,000,000).The third and fourth placed teams will get One Million Leones (1,000,000) and Five Hundred thousand Leones (500,000), respectively
