GCAA were on Saturday crowned National Inter-Departmental Sports Association football tournament after beating daily observer 4-3 on post-match penalty shootout, after the regulation time ended stalemate in a final game played at Serekunda East mini stadium.

Sang Gomez opened the scores for GCAA in the 32nd minute of the game after capitalizing on Bubacarr Sonko’s low cross to fire home the opener that gave his side the lead.
