Hawks go neck and neck with Wallidan

Tuesday, July 8, 2008
Hawks beat Steve Biko 2-0 last evening to go neck and neck with Wallidan at the top of the division one league table, as the race for the crown goes right down to the wires.

A first-half stoppage time goal from striker Ousman Jatta and a last-gasp strike from substitute Dawda Ceesay earned the Red Devils all the three points they needed to remain in frame for their first league title since 1996.

Hawks and Wallidan, who will next square off against each other in the final match of the league, are now on the same points and goals, while Samger trail them by goal difference.

Elsewhere yesterday, Gambia Armed Forces drew goalless with the embattled Ports Authority at the Serrekunda East Mini-stadium. The result, which was rather a good news to fellow relegation-threatened sides - Sea View and Bakau, saw the Ferry Boys inched closer to  their first relegation in decades.

As it stands, even a win for Ports Authority against Gamtel in the final match will not spare them, should Bakau United and Sea View fetch a point in their final fixtures.
