<\/a>The team\u2019s relegation was confirmed after Wilberforce Strikers FC secured two crucial victories, earning six points and scoring six goals against Freetonian SLIFA and FC Kallon.<\/p>\nThese wins propelled Wilberforce Strikers FC out of the relegation zone, securing their place in the top-tier for the 2023\/24 league season.<\/p>\n
East End Tigers FC, previously known as Yellow \u201cSubmarines,\u201d has been competing in the male top-tier league for four consecutive seasons. Unfortunately, their 2022\/23 campaign has been marred by a poor performance, as they currently sit at the bottom of the league table among 18 teams, having accumulated only 33 points in 33 matches.<\/p>\n
Their final game of the season will be against newcomers Lamboi Football Club on Saturday, July 22nd, in Lungi. Both teams face a must-win situation, with Lamboi FC also needing a victory to secure their spot in the league.<\/p>\n
The club, which is owned by the esteemed and long-serving football administrator Victor Lewis, formerly the Premier League Board (PLB) Chairman during the 2011\/12 season, had a memorable moment in its maiden appearance in the league back in 2014.<\/p>\n
They finished in a commendable 2nd position, with East End Lions FC claiming the top spot. However, that season was later disrupted and abandoned due to the devastating Ebola epidemic.<\/p>\n
In 2019, the club underwent a renaming, becoming East End Tigers FC, and made history by appointing Victoria Conteh as their Head Coach.<\/p>\n
This landmark decision marked the first time a female coach had been appointed in the country\u2019s male top-flight league. Additionally, the club has distinguished itself by generating revenue through player transfers.<\/p>\n
Notable players such as winger Abdul Dul Bangura, who was signed by East End Lions FC and played a crucial role in their title-winning 2018\/19 season, along with Saidu Bah Kamara, Joseph Kamara (now with Mighty Blackpool), and goalkeeper Ibrahim Sesay, were all sold to Bo Rangers FC for substantial sums.<\/p>\n
Moreover, forward Baimba Sesay, the second top scorer of the 2018\/19 season, engaged in a fierce battle before signing with FC Kallon.<\/p>\n
