Brufut United have been crowned champions of the
2014-2015 West Coast Regional third division league title to gain automatic
promotion to the Gambia Football Federation second division following their
1-all draw with Jambanjelly United in the week twenty-two fixtures played at
the Brufut football field on Tuesday.
Brufut United and Jambanjelly United are with 38 points each in twenty-one games, but Brufut United were leading the race on goal difference prior to their Tuesday league title decider, to automatically secure promotion to the second division game.
