“We trained two weeks prior to our game against the Central Bank of The Gambia. We played test games with other banks to prepare better for the annual late governor Famara Jatta inter-bank football tournament,’’ Coach Mbenga said.
Coach Mbenga expressed delight over his team’s “brilliant display” against the Central Bank of The Gambia, adding that his team was eager to score more goals to lead the group.
