Speaking to reporters shortly after his side’s 1-nil defeat in the hands of Banjul, Seedy Barrow, head coach of Sukuta, said his boys played well and created chances but could not capitalize on them, which resulted in their loss to Banjul.
He said he was impressed with the performance of his team during the campaign despite failing to reach the final, as they did last year.
Now that it is over for them this year, he remarked, they would go back and prepare for next year.
Barrow said he was disappointed with the officiating of the game by the central referee.
