Mena Queens are demonstrating a significant return to competitive form within the Marampa Mines Women’s Premier League. Following a challenging period, the club has established a more consistent trajectory in the second half of the season, recording three victories, two defeats, and one draw. With a total of 21 points, the team currently maintains the 8th position in the league standings, signaling a steady rebuilding of tactical momentum.


The club’s recent fixture at the SLFA Academy served as a definitive statement of intent. Despite conceding an early goal to Sierra Leone Police, Mena Queens exhibited remarkable composure and attacking fluidity. The team successfully engineered a comprehensive 4-1 comeback victory, showcasing the tactical maturity required for high-level competition.


The match opened with Sarah Sesay securing an initial lead for the hosts. However, Mena Queens responded by intensifying their possession-based play and systematically challenging the Sierra Leone Police defensive structure. Bintu Jalloh secured the equalizer with a clinical finish, shifting the momentum in favor of the visitors and establishing the foundation for their subsequent dominance.


Mena Queens continued to exert pressure throughout the second phase. Marie B. Conteh capitalized on a sophisticated buildup play orchestrated by Mariatu Kamara to take the lead. This was followed by a third goal from Fatmata F. Kanu, assisted by Banatter Samai. The victory was finalized when Mariatu Kamara, whose creative influence was central to the team’s success, scored the fourth goal. Kamara’s performance earned her the "Woman of the Match" distinction, reflecting the team’s broader technical resurgence.


From a defensive perspective, Mena Queens remained disciplined, maintaining their structural integrity despite a caution issued to Bintu Jalloh. Sierra Leone Police struggled to regain tactical footing as the match progressed, with Fatmata Tholley also receiving a booking. Ultimately, the performance indicated a profound restoration of confidence within the squad.


The integration of fluid attacking combinations and improved game management suggests that Mena Queens are well-positioned for a strong finish to the season. Should the current performance trajectory be sustained, the club is likely to improve upon its 8th-place standing in the upcoming league fixtures.
