Freetown \u2014 The Minister of Youth Employment and Sports, Paul Kamara yesterday at his Bishop House office received international laurels from the Sierra Leone Lawn Tennis Association (SLLTA).<\/p>\n

The team of eight players returned yesterday (Wednesday) morning from Monrovia, Liberia after successfully winning the second Annual Cheaitou Open Tournament.<\/p>\n

Second seed Abubakarr Bangura was crowned champion in the men’s prime single, while Mariatu Dumbuya won the women’s prime single.<\/p>\n

In the men’s champions double, Mohamed Bah and Fuad Kargbo scooped the title, while Fuad Kargbo and Wokie Parker were also crowned champions of the mix double.<\/p>\n

Abubakarr Bangura and Emmanuel Lansana were runners-up in the prime double; also Junior Nimely and Debora Davies were runners-up in the women’s mix double.<\/p>\n

After receiving the trophies, the Sports minister said he was impressed with the players’ success, adding that the SLLTA has shown they can achieve success without government’s support.<\/p>\n

“I must express my delight with their performance and the way the executive sold themselves without government sponsorship. The time has come for us to encourage our stars and Lawn Tennis is one of our priorities,” Kamara said.<\/p>\n
