Tallinding United have joined Brikama United in the GFA Division One League after a much-needed 1-0 win against Flaminins  over the weekend.

Tallinding went into the game knowing fully that anything less than the maximum points could dent their promotion hope should close contenders, Ham Ham, win their encounter against Serrekunda East United on Saturday.

However, with Tallinding side garnering the desired result against Flaminins, who have now joined embattled Star Light in the relegation to the Third Division, Ham Ham’s emphatic 3-0 win against SK East United was reduced to a mere win in the final match of the season.

In another final tie on Saturday, Young Africans salvaged a 1-1 draw against Nema United to maintain their status in the Second Division.

Division One returnees, Tallinding United and first-timers Brikama United will, come next season, replace relegated Interior FC and Gambia Ports Authority in the top flight.
