Concord Times (Freetown) 17 June 2011 Freetown — Executive officials of Ports Authority FC have urged their players to beat Kissy All Stars today (Friday) in their Africell-sponsored Premier League clash at the National Stadium and stand a good chance of winning the league crown. The Ports officials believe the team will be in a vantage position to land the title if they can humble the Premier League newcomers and move three points clear of Kamboi Eagles and five more ahead of third place Wusum Stars. Beating a Kissy All Stars side that has garnered seven points in four matches and has also proved to be strong against bigger opponents in the league could be a tall order for the Water Front Boys, a reason the team's executive has set aside special match bonuses for the boys should they go on and grab all three points.

Freetown — The Craig Bellamy Foundation (CBF) has announced the commencement of the 2011 Talent Scouting at the Bassa Town Field, Waterloo.

The event, which coincided with celebrations marking the Day of the African Child, is the Foundation’s national scouting initiative that offers children across the country born around 2002 the opportunity to earn a place in the academy located in Tombo later this year.

However, this year’s event is special as the academy founder Craig Bellamy is part of the team of expert coaches and scouts to identify talented kids for his academy. The former Liverpool striker who is presently in Freetown will be helping the technical staff in looking out for other young talents to be enrolled in the academy.

In related development, the second edition of the Foundation’s Challenge Cup will kick-off tomorrow (Saturday) at the CBF Academy in Tombo for players under the age of 14. Already, the tournament has been tipped to showcase some of the best young sporting talents in the country.

Six of the top young teams in the country – the CBF Academy, FC Johansen, Ibrahim FC, Young Sportsmen’s Club, Area Best Makeni, and Tombo Rangers – will battle in this year’s championship.

The tournament is expected to kick-off at 9:00am with the final expected to take place at approximately 1:00pm the same day.
