Patrick Lombie and Momodu Samura could not acclimatize with the hot weather atmosphere to contest their opening matches against Germany and Spain who seemed to be very comfortable with the weather conditions.

Coach Sorie Kamara who had so much confidence in his boys expressed dissatisfaction about the level of their performance against their counterparts.  ‘’My boys did not play to expectation and I’m very much disappointed.  The Germans nor the Spaniards were stronger than them but they became panicked and could not deliver well, ’’ said Sorie.

According to the information ,Sierra Leone’s professional player based in Cyprus rescued the beach volleyball team in Cyprus.  Mustapha Haji footed the bills for the four man delegation after the team’s elimination in the ongoing FIVB Swatch Youth Championship in Larnaka.

The delegation is expected back home on July 22^nd 2012 to prepared for U-21 World Championship in Canada slated for the 29 of August – September 2^nd 2012.
