Happy Corner FC on Monday navigated to the round of sixteen of the 2023 Trust Bank and Semlex sponsored Banjul ‘nawettan’ knockout competition after defeating Golden State FC 1-0 in a tightly-contested match played at the Banjul Mini Stadium.

The match was not an easy road to cross as both sides played total offensive football and crafted several goal scoring opportunities.

Essaka Dukureh opened the scores for Happy Corner FC midway into the second half, which eventually proved to be the winner for the Happy Corner boys.

The win earns Happy Corner FC a spot in the round of sixteen of the 2023 Trust Bank and Semlex sponsored Banjul nawettan knockout competition.

The defeat saw Golden State FC out of the annual Banjul nawettan knockout competition.
