Monrovia - At exactly 16:00 GMT (4:00PM Liberian time), center referee Davies Omweno will signal the start of the Liberia versus Senegal 2014 World Cup qualifier at the Samuel Kanyon Doe (SKD) sports complex in Paynesville on Sunday.

1. Monrovia - The granddaughter of the founding father of the Invincible Eleven (IE) Majestic Sports Association Joe Richards on Wednesday is now a full board member of the association.

Mrs. Tianna Sherman Kessely, was announced by the team Board Chairman Dr. Eugene Shannon after she received the association’s license plate presented to her by one of the board members, Mr. Sam Gibson at the Ocean Crystal View Hotel at Mamba Point.

Receiving the license plate from the IE family, Mrs. Kessely said she feel honor and privilege to be a full board member of IE, a membership she has long been wishing for.

Said Mrs. Kessely: “It is an honor and privilege to become a full member of a team that my grandfather started exactly 70 years ago and is still going strong among the best playing teams in the country.

IE’s new board member vowed to restore the team’s fan base because she believes that IE is a Darling Club and one of her goals is to win over all the different hearts and souls over to the Invincibles. She warned other clubs to lookout for IE next season.

She paid homage to IE’s two injured players George Gebro and Benjamin Nyanforh and wished them speedy recovery and promised to make financial contribution toward their health.

Mrs. Kessely urged IE players to try their possible best to maintain IE in the first division stage of the Liberia Football Association (LFA) and be obedient and always follow the rules of the game.

The Board Chairman Dr. Shannon said Mrs. Kessely, as granddaughter of IE’s founding father and now a board member of the team showed a clear manifestation of the association member’s togetherness as they continue to keep IE among the best playing teams in the country.

Dr. Shannon called on Mrs. Kessely to try her possible best in order to encourage others to come in and help to move the team forward.

The four officials headed by the President Dr. Richard Tolbert wished the national football team of Liberia “The Lone Star” victory against Senegal on Sunday in the qualifying round of the 2014 FIFA World Cup scheduled to be held in Brazil.

Interim Liberia coach Frank Jericho Nagbe and crew can, perhaps, plot Senegal’s downfall without Demba Ba when the sides square-off in a 2014 World Cup qualifier at the Samuel Kanyon Doe sports complex in Paynesville on Sunday.

Ba, who joined Chelsea from Newcastle United during the 2013 January transfer window for an undisclosed fee, was one of four players omitted by head coach Alain Giresse from the squad that drew 1-1 with Angola in Guinea, Conakry on March 23.

He missed a decisive penalty in that match and Giresse said his decision was "purely a sporting one".

"I've decided to go without him for these two games. Senegal have plenty of target men and I'm giving chances to others for the next two World Cup qualifiers," the Frenchman said in Dakar as he announced his 23-man squad.

Ba was replaced by Marseille striker Modou Sogou while Newcastle's Papiss Demba Cisse, who scored in the 1-1 with Angola on June 8, retained his place.

But Giresse still has plenty of options including Moussa Sow of Fenerbahce, Hannover 96's Mame Birame Diouf and Dame Ndoye, who plays at

Lokomotiv Moscow.

Senegal lead the group J with six points, two clear of bottom-placed Liberia with Uganda on five points and Angola on four points.

Monrovia - In continuation of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers, a Liberian national team delegation yesterday afternoon arrived in Monrovia from Uganda to continue preparations for Sunday’s game with Senegal.
