Ron Mango FC were on Friday crowned champions of the Bakau Sports Committee Knockout Cup competition after beating Lunebung 4 - 2 on post-match penalty shootouts following a goalless draw on regulation time.

The game was played at the Bakau Football Park and attended by the Gambia Football Federation president Lamin Kaba Bajo, football stakeholders and spectators.

The encounter was a thrilling one between the two teams as both sides needed a win to become the Knockout Cup champion.

Coming from the dressing room, the Lunebung boys were so determined and created few clear cut chances but all their efforts were denied by the solid defence line of Ron Mango.

As champions, Ron Mango went home with a cash of D30,000 and a trophy while Lunebung FC went home with D20,000 consolation.
