Wusum Stars up to second as Kasim nets brace to save Parade

Wusum Stars moved above Central Parade into second place in the ongoing Sierra Leone Premier League after an impressive 2-0 win over Ports Authority on Saturday at the Wusum Ground.

The Waterfront boys were in high spirit with new coach Lamin Bangura, but they faced a stiff and resilient home team holding firm to go behind leaders.

Wusum Stars move on to 20 points from ten games and are just one behind leaders Bo Rangers.

Sulaiman Kargbo and Shema Kamara were on the score sheet for the Northern Province-based outfit whilst Central Parade came from behind twice to deny Mount Aureal SLIFA their second win of this season at the Parade ground. 

Babatunde Savage had given the visitors the opener before the host level the scoreline through Kassim Turay.

The visitor was again in the front with Mohamed Kamara’s goal, but the host rallied to draw level again.

Man of the Match Kassim Turay restored parity for the home team. A win could have take Parade above Bo Rangers.

Freetown City FC registered a 3-1 away win at the Port Loko playing field to move up to sixth on the table.

Philip Conteh gave Kallon their lead in the first half before Alex Perry decent finish in the 79th minute saved the day for his side. The midfielder Perry was named man of the Match.

Sierra Leone coach Keister monitors Barnet defender David Sesay

Sierra Leone coach John Keister is monitoring the situation of Barnet defender David Sesay, Football Sierra Leone understands.

Sesay, who has attracted interest from Kenya since 2019, is also qualified for Sierra Leone via his dad.

The Brent-born came through the Watford FC academy before penning a permanent deal with League Two side Crawley Town in 2018.

Sesay, hailing from a Sierra Leonean father and a Kenyan mother in the UK, is also eligible to play for England.
