The West Point Young Stars’ (U12) goal in the first game came from striker Bill Weah midway in the second half of the game, played at the Duport Road market sports field in Paynesville. The home side made several efforts to get the equalizer without success because West Point team members, including Sam Mensah, Paul Akese, Daniel Toe, Junior Saydee, Moses Weah, Eli Barry and Josephus Awortkle, held their ground. They showed early flashes of victory, but West Point Young Stars (U14) held their ground and frustrated their efforts. The visitors, West Point All Stars’ best moment came during the five-five penalty kicks, scoring three against one by the home side, to set up a celebration that began in the field and ended in West Point in central Monrovia. Josiah Toe, head of West Point Donami Sports-YMCA Organizing Committee, also commended Doc Lawson for his consistent support to the development of young people in and through sports.
