Gunjurians
in the diaspora recently patronised Gunjur zonal team with cash amounting to
D88,000 after their 2016 FiBank Gambia Limited-sponsored Super Nawettan
triumph.
Gunjur
came from one nil down to beat Banjul 2-1 in a tightly-contested final game
played at the Independence Stadium in Bakau, on Friday 28 October 2016, to
clinch their first-ever Super Nawettan crown.
Right-back
Essa Jallow gave Banjul the lead in the 18th minute of the game from a penalty
spot after pacy winger Assan Gaye was brought down inside the area by Gunjur’s
left-back Yusupha Touray alias Eso, before 2016 Super Nawettan best player
Salifu Bojang alias Bapa levelled matters for Gunjur in the 36th minute of the
game to make it 1-1.
Striker
Malang Jassey alias Uncle netted the winner for Gunjur in the 77th minute of
the game from the penalty spot after Banjul’s centre-back Modou Lamin B.S.
Touray downed winger wizard Lamin Jallow Sako inside the eighteen to inspire
Gunjur to their first-ever Super Nawettan crown since the inception of the
tournament in 1992, by Gambia Football Association.
As
result of the team’s excellent performance in the country’s community biggest
football festivity, Gunjurians in the diaspora organised themselves and raised
some cash for the team after clinching the Super Nawettan trophy for the first
time in their history.
