The
2016 FiBank-sponsored Super Nawettan champions Gunjur and runners-up Banjul are
yet to receive their prize money from the Super Nawettan Organising Committee.
Gunjur
came from one nil down to beat Banjul 2-1 in a well-contested final, played at
the Independence Stadium in Bakau on Friday 28 October 2016, to clinch their
first-ever super nawettan title.
Goals
came from creative midfielder Salifu Bojang alias Bapa and striker Malang
Jassey alias Uncle in the 36th and 77th minute of the game, respectively.
This
was after right-back Essa Jallow gave Banjul the lead in the 18th minute of the
game from penalty spot, after defender Yusupha Touray alias Eso brought down
striker Assan Gaye inside the penalty area.
Since
then, the champions Gunjur and runners-up are yet to receive their prize money
for the annual zonal football fiesta after reaching the final.
The
Super Nawettan Organising Committee and FiBank initially set to present D75,000
to champions Gunjur on Saturday, but the presentation was postponed due to a
political rally in Gunjur.
It
would be recalled that Gunjur also won the best player and leading goal scorer
awards.
Salifu Bojang alias Bapa was awarded the best
player accolade, after his astonishing performance for the Kombo South boys in
the 2016 FiBank-sponsored Super Nawettan, and Mbemba Fatty alias Andrea Iniesta
was awarded the leading goal scorer title, after notching five goals in the
Super Nawettan.
Banjul
goal post custodian Ahmed Savage and defender Abdoulie Samba alias Abedi were
awarded the best goalkeeper and best defender titles, after their spectacular
performance for the city boys in the tournament.
