Mathematically we (IE) can win the premiership title,” a short
statement by Invincible Eleven's “Concerned Few” secretary general
Dennis Toe weeks back as his side gallantly continued to defy the
might of some pre-league favorites.
Toe's Concerned Few and IE board of directors have since launched a
sustained massive mobilization and awareness campaign to bring the
championship hope to fruition.
Aside the pre-match and post-match financial bonuses dished out to
the winsome “Sunshine Yellow Boys”, executives of the team are fast
thinking beyond the title race to what happens next after the crown
is won.
International exposures through friendly matches and the resumption
of positive pre-war arch rivalry between IE and Barrolle through
tournaments like “Who Owns The Land” are some of the brainstorming
discussions now going on within the corridors of the “Liberian
Darling Club.”
But before all of those, the team has the Herculean task to take on
a former title hopeful Gedi & Sons on next Sunday, in a derby
considered as the premier league final.
As vowed by Concerned Few's chairman Francois Junius, IE players
adhered to their challenge to consider last Sunday's derby against
low-rated Mark Pro as the semi final to the league, and came out 2-0
winners.
And in fulfillment of their daily post-match pledges, the board of
directors and Concerned Few together on Sunday presented a purse of
US$255.00. The presentation is the second highest amount in recent
times from the two executives, following the LS$21,000.00 donated to
the team after their 1-0 defeat of NPA Anchors.
Meanwhile, Concerned Few SG has disclosed that a week-long special
mobilization of all IE fans, supporters, former players, and
officials was launched yesterday (Monday) to ensure a massive
turnout for the final match Sunday.
Mr. Toe re-echoed the demand of the players for every supporter,
fan, executive to come to the final match in their traditional IE
colors of yellow and green/blue with their drums and sasa.
“The boys know they are capable to finish the task successfully and
are urging us to do our part,” Toe noted.
In a related development, the Concerned Few has promised the players
of IE an initial widow's mite of LD$18,000.00 following the
“victorious final.”
The group's chief scribe said the amount is just a kickoff to many
bonuses that will follow. |
