Their achievement sparked a lot of positive reactions from Sierra Leonean both home and abroad and the first to congratulate the team was the President of the Sports Writers Association of Sierra Leone (SWASAL), Frank Cole who posted on WhatsApp: “ Bravo to our national female cricket team for their victory.”
