Second round fixtures resume

Like the first division of the Gambia Football Association (GFA), teams in a competition for the top accolade of the country's second tier football league have resumed their quest for the silverware as the second round fixtures of the GFA national league division two fixtures released on Wednesday.

The first game of the second round saw Serrekunda United leapfrog current table toppers the mighty Hawks of Banjul temporarily but only a point separated the two pacesetters.

Hawks were in action at the time of filing this report against second-from-bottom place occupant Lamin United, who could only manage nine points in nine matches.

Should they beat the relegation threatened Lamin side, they will re-claim the top spot with 19 points.

Serrekunda United and Latrikunda United played a pulsating goalless draw at the Serrekunda East Mini-stadium, a result that saw the Serrekunda outfit climb at the top of the table with 17 points one more than Hawks, who finished the first round at the summit of the league table on 16 points.
