The Leone Rock Premier League season is poised for a gripping second half as Matchweek 10 concluded on Monday, leaving the standings incredibly tight at both ends of the table.
Star Sport Academy remains at the summit with 22 points, but their lead is under pressure. Bai Bureh Warriors FC, undefeated this season, sit just two points behind in second place after a solid 2-0 victory over Old Edwardians this weekend. Ports Authority FC holds third with 16 points.
The battle for continental qualification and mid-table security is a logjam, with only three points separating fourth-place Bo Rangers (15 points) from ninth-place Bhantal FC (13 points). Every result now carries significant weight in shaping the league’s hierarchy.
At the other end of the table, the fight to avoid relegation is equally intense. Three clubs—Diamond Stars FC, Abacha City FC, and Mighty Blackpool FC—are tied on 9 points just above the drop zone, with Luawa FC sitting 18th on 7 points.
The weekend’s action saw crucial individual performances. East End Lions FC secured an important 3-1 win, powered by a Man of the Match display from Idrissa Sesay (#12), who contributed a goal and an assist. Bullom Stars’ victory was spearheaded by Fassineh Sylla, who scored and assisted to claim the matchday honours.
In a tense goalless draw between Bo Rangers and Wilberforce Strikers, goalkeeper Francis Koroma (#1) was named Man of the Match for his clean sheet. Defensive resilience was also key for Abdul D. Kamara (#4) of Old Edwardians, whose performance earned top honours in a narrow loss.
The first ten matchdays have produced a total of 12 goals and 11 assists from the highlighted performances. The competitive intensity is further reflected in the discipline count, with 39 yellow cards and 10 red cards shown across the league.
With the table compressed and every point critical, the league promises high drama as teams push for the title, scramble for top-four finishes, and fight for survival in the weeks ahead. The next matchday could see major shifts in the race for the Leone Rock Premier League crown.
