Lions drop 5 points out of 6

Mighty Blackpool Vs East End Lions was the game of the weekend. This is the derby that started last season and it could well be the same fixture that has finally revived a moribund Blackpool team to life.

East End Lions failure to win this game means they have now won just one point out of six. And they have gone three games in all competitions without winning; FC Kallon (Challenge Cup), Ports Authority and Mighty Blackpool.

Members of the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) have agreed at its just concluded ordinary congress on Saturday to give Karene and Falaba districts voting rights. The decision was taken at a very closely tight vote by delegates to determine whether they should be given right to vote or not.

Karene and Falaba were established over two years ago as part of the de-amalgamation process by the National Electoral Commission, ahead of the 2018 general elections.

East End Lions and FC Kallon have both stuttered in their opening matches of the season. They both had big fixtures and they both couldn’t take three points.

Lions played on Saturday against Ports Authority. Coach John Keister will now tick Ports as one of his strongest opponents that he has come up against. Last season they shared the spoils twice and this season a 79^th minute goal by Gibril Coulibally was enough to steal all three points for Ports.

Here we are, finally! The Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) is about to hold an ordinary congress, for the first time in four years. The venue is Port Loko, no doubt a stronghold of the Isha Johansen administration.

Like this, the next two congresses will also be held in Johansen strongholds - Kenema and Bombali districts. The venues and scheduling of these congresses is all part of an end game; to win a fresh mandate for the SLFA Presidency.
