The players and officials of the unbeaten Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) football team are confident of a victory when they clash with Zenith Bank this evening at the Father Gough Sports Complex in the semifinals of the ongoing inter-bank football tournament.
The two sides will meet in the first semi-final, while Trust Bank Limited entertains Skye Bank in the second semi-final. The tournament, which is named after the late Governor of CBG, Famara Jatta, is aimed at bringing the country’s banking fraternity together to share the same understanding amongst others.
In an Observer Sports interview, Pa Omar Jobarteh of GTBank said his side is determined and motivated to win the tournament after their disappointing performance last year.
The team, he recalled gave a lot of effort and energy in the past but couldn’t go beyond the quarterfinal stages. “Our management was highly disappointed in the last year’s tournament.”
Jobarteh, who also doubles as the financial controller of the bank, said the team has learned from its last year’s mistakes.
Efforts to reached Zenith Bank to gather their level of preparedness proved futile.
