Second tier
debutants Second Infantry Battalion Friday beat Serrekunda East Bi 1-0 in the
2018-2019 Gambia Football Federation (GFF) second division league match played
at the Serrekunda East Mini Stadium.
The Farafenni
barrack soldiers secured promotion to the country’s second tier after clinching
North Bank Region third division league title last season. Serrekunda East Bi
missed top flight league promotion berth last season after finishing fifth
place behind PSV Wellingara, who secured final first division promotion slot.
The East Bi boys were
eyeing for the maximum points in the game but surrounded the vital three points
to the Second Infantry Battalion, who netted a single goal to land their
first-ever victory in their debut season in the country’s second tier.
Newly-promoted side Jambanjelly United
hammered Red Hawks 4-1 at the Brikama Box Bar Mini Stadium on Friday to grasp
their first success in the second tier.
