Two teams in the same town,but slightly different in history- Brikama United formed in 2003 and Bombada in 2012 will answer a lot of questions between themselves as they will be tussling for the country’s second most prestigious trophy on Sunday June 5 at the Independence Stadium in BAKAU.
History is set to be made on Sunday as no Brikama team has ever won the FF Cup.
The two Sateba-based sides will once again renew their rivalry on the pitch as their meetings had been a crowd-pullers in the past.
United by Brikama, but divided by football, a lot is expected from both sides and fans.
Mustapha Drammeh and Adama Jammeh scored 6 each for Bombada and their individual performances can make an impact. Bombada’s technical bench is also rich in experience with Ensa Sambou who won the 2011 league with Brikama United serving as assistant coach.
For Brikama United who finished 2nd place in the 2016 domestic first division league, in-form Saikouba Ceesay is a player to watch on Sunday. The lad has been very outstanding for Brikama United in the league.
The two teams played four official competition games with Brikama United having an edge over Bombada wining two and drew two. They scored 5 goals against Bombada and conceded only one goal.
In an interview with Observer Sports ahead of the final, Bombada coach Lamin Antony Ceesay said, “It will be a different game”.
Brikama United coach Sulayman Kuyateh said his side is well prepared for the final because as he put “It is going to be a difficult final.”
