Super Nawettan semis race set for today

The 2016 FIBank-sponsored Super Nawettan zonal football tournament semifinal matches are set for today, Tuesday 25 October 2016, at the Serrekunda East and West grounds respectively.

As part of the semifinal matches, Banjul will host Serrekunda East at the Serrekunda West Mini Stadium at 4.30pm.

Banjul held Serrekunda East to a 1-1 draw in the group phase, and will be striving to beat Serrekunda East to advance to the final as well as keeping their chances of clinching the 2016 FIBank-sponsored super Nawettan and also ending their trophy drought.

Serrekunda East were forced to a 1-1 draw by Banjul in the group stage, and will be competing to beat Banjul to progress to the final following their elimination in the semifinal by Sukuta last year.

Elsewhere, Gunjur will play against Sukuta in the other semifinal game at the Serrekunda West Mini Stadium on the same day.

Gunjur will be hoping for revenge to advance to the final for the first time in their history after losing to Sukuta 1-0 in the group stage as well as keeping their hopes of landing their first-ever Super Nawettan title.

Sukuta, on the other hand, beat Gunjur 1-0 in the group stage, and will be fighting to beat Gunjur for the second time to sail to the final as well as boosting their chances of winning the 2016 FIBank-sponsored Super Nawettan title after losing to Serrekunda West in the final on penalties last year.
