Three-time league champions, Pirang United have finally secured their first victory in the 2025\2026 Kombo East inter-village football tournament.

Pirang United FC defeated debutants Fuffor FC 1-0 in a keenly-contested match played at the Mandinaba Football Field.

The match’s defining moment came in the first half when Buba Bojang stepped up to coolly convert from the penalty spot, which eventually proved to the winning goal for Pirang.

Pirang United dominated much part of the match and showcase sharp attacking movements, renewing sense of urgency.

 Amadou Jallow came close to extend Pirang's lead in the second half but his effort missed the target.

Despite pressure, Fuffor FC remained compact, disciplined at the back and frustrated Pirang’s forward until the final whistle.

Pirang United of head coach, Ismailia Sonko, commended his players for their commitment, organisation and hunger for victory.

“We knew we needed a strong response and the boys delivered. This is a step in the right direction,” Coach Sonko said.

The day’s standout performer, Bubacarr Bojang, was named the Kombo East District Sports Committee Man of the Match.

Bojang received a certificate and D500 for his influential display during the match.

Pirang United FC will be hoping to build momentum and push for a strong show in the coming weeks as they seek to reclaim their former dominance in the Kombo East inter-village football tournament.
