The Brufut based Gilkock Football Academy in the League AgainMonday, March 03, 2008 Following in the footsteps of Ebrima Jatta, alias E.J, of Hawks F.C and the then Under 20 side that traveled to Canada for the FIFA World Youth Championship last summer, Ebrima Bojang of the Brufut based Gilkock Football Academy appeared as a debutante for Real De Banjul on Wednesday February 27th 2008. It was their first game in their bid to defend their title of champions of The Gambia Football Association First Division League. Young Ebrima, a defender by nature, joined the Banjul outfit last season but didn’t feature in the first team during the league. He was also sitting on the bench for Real in the Super Cup tie when they lost to Gambia Ports Authority by a single goal. Bojang, in his debut, played the entire game and as a young defender he was instrumental in defense, playing against a formidable side Gamtel with top class strikers. ‘I was nervous when I was called in the first eleven but I took it as challenge, knowing that my coach trusts in me and wants to give me a chance. This is what served as a motivating factor for me. Also playing in most of my team’s pre-season games, I think my technical staff have confidence in me that’s why I was given the chance today. It wasn’t easy for me but I held my nerves to finish the game on a fine note’, said Ebrima. For his part, Coach Sang Mendy of the Brufut based academy, who watched Ebrima play during his debut game, hailed the lad saying “I watched the lad carefully with nervousness but to be honest I was very impressed with the lad’s performance. He played well and concentrated for the whole game without committing many mistakes despite playing against great strikers like Kabba Jobe and Karamo Fatty of Gamtel.” Mendy was quick to reveal that he was not surprised with Ebrima as he is a player who plays to instruction. He went further to note that when Ebrima Bojang is given the chance, he will rise to be an asset for Real de Banjul in the future.
