As Gunjur United maintain 100% record

Kombo Kerewan and Busumbala on Friday snatched their first wins in the 2015-2016 West Coast Regional third division league after defeating Brikama and Sanchaba Sulay United in their week-three fixtures.

Gunjur United opened the scores through winger Mbemba Fatty alias Andres Iniesta in the opening minute of the game from penalty spot after Simon Bass aka Super changa was brought down inside the eighteenth-yard box to give his side the lead.

Simon Bass aka Super Changa netted the second goal for Gunjur United before break to dash Greater Tomorrow’s hopes of coming back to their feet.

Midfielder Salifu Bapa Bojang sealed victory mid-away into the game from an astonishing long-range strike to earn Gunjur United a comfortable 3-0 over the Brikama-based outfit.
