By Muctar Koroma Sierra Leone's male U-20 team, the Shooting Star, on Friday November 29, 2019 fulfilled their twin ambition with their final group game at the ongoing WAFU U20 championship. The shooting stars secured a 3-2 win over hosts Guinea in the keenly contested game played in Conakry. Goals from Daramy Sesay and double from Suffian Kalokoh turned out to be a perfect  Friday’s encounter as the Shooting Stars zoomed into the semi-final of the  West Africa football union  U20 Championship.
