Fixture Changes: Gard’ville/Sinoe

The Stars home game against Gardnersville FC has been brought forward while the trip to Sinoe NPA has been pushed back.

The date of Philadelphia Lone Star FC-Liberia’s Orange Second Division game against Gardnersville FC originally scheduled for Sunday 01 October 2023 (1:00pm) at the Antoinette Tubman Stadium will now take place this Friday 29 September 2023 (4:00pm) at the SKD Practice Pitch in Paynesville.

Additionally, the match away to Sinoe NPA originally scheduled for Sunday 08 October (3:30pm) at the James E. Greene Sports Pitch will now be played at the end of the first phase on Wednesday 13 December 2023 (3:30pm) at the same venue in Greenville, Sinoe County.

This is to avoid the matches taking place at the same period as the last weeks of the electoral campaign and the 2023 Liberian general elections.
