It is all rosy so far for the rejuvenated media powerhouse Daily Observer FC as the side continues its fine run with a second consecutive win against Fire Service in the 2016 National Inter-departmental Sports Association (NISA) organised football tournament.
A determined Observer side is proving unstoble as demonstrated by its deserved 1-0 win over Fire Service on Saturday morning at the Serrekunda East mini stadium.
The only goal of the game was scored by Observer’s Modou Ceesay just after 20 minutes into the first half.
Meanwhile, after Saturday’s 1-0 loss to Prison Service at Manjai, national broadcaster GRTS are sinking and it seems they will have to hang their boots until next the edition, after losing two consecutive games, with one game remaining in the group stage.
The country’s leading and most authoritative newspaper’s football team is now joined at the top of the group table by Prison Service with 6 points after two games. GRTS and Fire Service are equal at the bottom of the table.
In an interview with Observer Sports, Pamodou Faal, the Daily Observer team coach, commended his boys for the brilliant performance. “I congratulate them on the second win. My priority is to win the trophy.”
He thanked the management under the leadership of MD Momodou Sabally for the moral and financial commitment to the team’s participation.
Already dubbed “the meeting of the giants”, Daily Observer’s next game is against Prison Services and head coach Faal is optimistic of a win.
Meanwhile, National Road Authority (NRA) were also the better side in their encounter with Ministry of Trade as they won 2-0 at the Serrekunda West mini stadium.
