In an effort to raise adequate funds for the participation of the FF Cup-winning Brikama United in the CAF Confederations Cup preliminary rounds, the Brikama Sports Committee is gearing for a fitness tournament dubbed, “Sanneh Mentereng Fitness Tournament” among some Nawettan zones in the West Coast Region.
The tournament, as gathered by Observer Sports, would be contested among Lamin, Brufut, Sukuta, Gunjur, Sanyang and Brikama. The tournament would run from 16th-23rd July at the Brikama Box Bar Mini-Stadium.
Alieu Faal, media officer for Brikama Sports Committee described the initiative as a perfect way to start raising funds for the team. According to Faal, the opening game would feature Brikama against Gunjur on Saturday, before Sanyang takes on Lamin on Sunday.
Meanwhile, in another different development, the 2016 Brikama Sports Committee-organised qualifying round for the Nawettan proper has come to an end. The four teams that booked qualification for the rainy football fiesta are, Alfama, Real de Busumbala, Orlando Magic and Ecomog.
