The Martha Tubman Ball Park is the single greatest home-court advantage in Liberian Balling.
The Parade throughout the principles street of Harper City is done and over with.
The display of the 15 flags and colors of the 15 counties of Liberia taking part in the 2012/2013 Annual Intercounty Sports Meeting afloat 15 boats entering the City from the Atlantic Ocean into the Gulf of the Hoffman River is all over.
So is the grandeur.
Ambassador Comanny Wesseh, on behalf of Her Excellency Madam Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, took the Kickoff in The Martha Tubman Ball Park in Harper City. And declared the Games opened and to begin around the country.
Just as he walked off the playing field, the Girls of RiverGee and the Girls of Maryland locked horns. As you all know, the Girls of Maryland are a two-time Champions of Liberian Kickball. More so, they are playing at home in The Martha Tubman Ball Park. So the competition in the game was nonexistent.
The Girls of RiverGee tried their best.
But playing the Champions on their home-turf is nothing to joke with.
The Girls of Maryland beat the Girls of RiverGee 33 to 3! 30 points difference!
Evidently it is true!
The Martha Tubman Ball Park is the single greatest home-court advantage in Liberian Balling!
In an hour, the Boys of RiverGee will take on the Boys of Maryland. Coach Hazel Gray, ball legend of Liberia, tells me “This is my turf!”
Maryland and RiverGee ball record is straight. In three games, Maryland beat two and the last one ended up in a draw. All this happened over the years of the County Meet.
Let’s see what happens in few minutes!
