Bong County has officially terminated contract with football team’s head coach David Marca Lloyd days after the county lost 3-1 to Lofa in the semifinal of the current National County Sports Meet.
In a letter, dated January 14, 2023, reveals that Coach Lloyd was dismissed for grossly and repeatedly violating Article 5 of the terms and conditions of service contract between him and his employer, the Bong County sports Steering Committee.
According to the communication, Lloyd was involved in the act of inciting players to protest against the steering committee and boycotting camps without the consent of the committee; something Chairman George Philip Mulbah believes undermines their workings.
It can be recalled Bong County players boycotted camps few hours to a crucial semifinal match with Lofa and nine (9) of the players did not return until Wednesday morning which many Bongese believed led to their defeat.
Recently, it was reported that the former Bong County Coach, Lloyd was given an envelope of US$1,000.00 by a lady only known as Ophelia thought to be from Lofa.
It was also speculated, before the match with Maryland, that Lloyd was almost sacked for similar act by Chairman Mulbah but was considered following many appeals from other committee members.
Meanwhile, David Lloyd has been asked to relinquish all the county materials in his possession to the Team Manager before noon today.
Deputy Coach Jackson Taikerweyah was instructed to stand in the dugout for the Kpatawee boys as they battled Margibi for the third place on Sunday, 15 January 2023 at SKD Sports Complex.
