Wallidan, Hawks battle at bottom of the table

Wallidan and Hawks both missed another chance to move one step above the relegation zone as they were held to a disappointing goalless draw in the Week Fourth fixtures of the ongoing national league championship, at the Independence Stadium in Bakau on Saturday.

The stalemate results left two relegation candidates rooting at the bottom of the 12 club championship on 2 and 3 points, respectively in four consecutive league matches.

Wallidan who has always proven to be the most successful team in Gambian football has won the national league for Twenty-two times and FA for Eighteen times. They also won the double title FA and League Ten times but their performance in the league in recent years has not been satisfactory.

Having endured some frustrating moments in recent times, the blue boys as they are affectionately called only managed to bag 3 points out of four league matches they have played as of now.

The got off to a disappointing start to the campaign after a goalless draw against the hotel boys Seaview in one fixture and went on to suffer an embarrassing 1-nil lost to Samger.

Foday Bah and his team went into Real De Banjul clash, aiming to put that disappointing defeat to Samger behind them, but their effort proved futile as they shared spoils with city rivals, who are desperately looking forward to snatch their first win in the league so far.

Hawks, on the other hand, has also failed to win a single game.

The Red Devils began the campaign with a 2-1 lost in the hands of Bakau United as part of the First Week of the national league championship.

Hawks  only managed two draws and are without a victory in four league matches having already lost two games in a row and the second was against the Bakau giant killer Steve Biko, who entertained them to a narrow 1-nil win.

But after some improvements in the defence, Hawks have been unbeaten in their last two league matches collecting two points in a row.

They were held to a 1-1 draw against Brikama United who conceded their first defeat against Gamtel in home soil and are also without a win with three consecutive draws in a row.

Hawks most impressive results so far was their goalless draw against fellow strugglers Wallidan, but you can never rule out their possibility of recovering from their embarrassing start to the season.
