Banjul United are hopeful to improve in the country’s second tier after losing their last three fixtures in campaign.
The
Banjul-based outfit, who were relegated to the second division after their
woeful campaign in the top flight last season, have lost their two previous
fixtures prior to the Christmas and New Year’s break before losing to Lions of
Banjul in their week-seven fixtures at the weekend.
Banjul
United will rub shoulders with Young Africans in the all-Banjul derby fixtures
today, Wednesday 11 January 2017, at the Banjul KG5 Mini Stadium.
Banjul
United are 4 points in six games with a game in hand against Blue Star, and
will challenge to beat Young Africans to improve their status in the second
tier.
A
win will also keep their dreams of returning to the top flight next season
after their demotion to the second tier following their dismal performance in
the top flight last season.
Young
Africans are among the teams vying for promotion to the top flight next season
with 11 points in seven league games four points behind league leaders Fortune
FC and second place Lions of Banjul with 15 points each in seven league
matches.
They
will also contend to hammer Banjul United to close gap on league leaders and
second spot in the second tier standings.
