Sierra Leone’s wrestler, Alpha Bangura suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Nigeria’s Melvin Bibo in the Men’s FS 74Kg round 16 battles at the ongoing Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.

Bangura’s defeat at the hands of his Nigerian opponent continue a trend of Sierra Leone’s poor run at the ongoing Games as none of the country’s athletes have been able to get past their preliminary rounds since the games  started a week ago.

The 22-year-old Bangura was unable to secure a single point against the hefty 37-yearold Nigerian who came away with eight points which turned out to be the winning score in period one of their fight.

In another development, cyclist, Mohamed Thorley is still missing from the Games village as he is yet to return since leaving the camp on Sunday July 27.

The rider who is expected to compete on July 31st in his scheduled time trials and road race was said to have left the village together with other cyclist and an official to pick up his colleague and national team Captain, Moses Sesay- who was admitted to a hospital for three days.

The Sierra Leone National Cycling Association president, Winston DC Crowther confirmed Thorley is not in the village adding that he will not confirm that he is missing or whether he will be coming back.

“He left his key behind and we have been calling him for the past few days and he tells us that he will return so we are still not going to confirm anything yet,” Crowther said.

However, Moses Sesay has been discharged from the hospital and is hoping to be fit in time to take part in the cycling time trials and road race.
