Monrovia — As the second phase of the Liberia Basketball Federation (LBF) 2008 National League heats up at the Sports Commission on Broad Street, two of the country's top teams are scheduled to clash on Sunday, April 6, 2008.
Fresh from conceding a defeat this week, Mighty Barrolle will be hoping to make a comeback against the Oilers of the Liberian Petroleum Refining Company (LPRC).
