Young Liberian international defender Solomon Grimes marked his
return to the top flight with a defeat for his side LISCR FC when
they were prey to a resiliant
Gedi & Sons 1-2 in continuation of the LFA premiership at the ATS on
Friday.
The clever defender whose trip to Greece for a trial with Division
one outfit Larisa did not materialise after he failed to obtain a
visa from the Greek embassy in Nigeria which was reportedly close
could not help his new club as they only managed a consolation via
wing back Gizzie Dorbor in a rather disappointing fashion.
Captain Ben Nyaforh was rested on the day to allow the pair of Solo
and national team reserve George Baysah to operate, but not did not
yield much fruit as they succumbed to the Patrick Garwo's chargers.
The win takes the new premiership entrants to 17 points on the log
with a game on hand while their opponents' LISCR linger at the
middle of the table with 13 points and a game on hand against an
improved Breweries who narrowly defeated Watanga on Wednesday at the
NPA-Sports pitch.
Earlier in the day, USA unbeaten run in the First Division came to
and end when they were brought down to earth by an odd goal from
Second placed Exodus.
Despite the loss the Gardnersville based outfit remains in pole
position in their quest to move to the top flight.
On Thursday, Invincible Eleven (IE) impeded LPRC-Oilers hope of
leading the elite stage when they frustrated the oil boys by a late
minute solitary goal through the towering Lincoln Gatei as he
punished his former team mate Nelson Teah in goal.
The loss means the Rollers with one game on hand against NPA-Anchors
have now eclipsed the Oilers at the top on superior goal difference
as both sides have 18 points and a game each remaining.
Meanwhile, the Gabriel Johns side end their first phase fixture on
Today Saturday in what should be described as an easy test against
point donors Mark Pros while the Rollers face a tricky test against
NPA-later during the week.
Before the Oilers, Mark Pros pairing Gardnersville FC will entertain
Johnson Conquerors in a Second Division battle at the ATS.
