Bombada Coach Faults Players in Derby Loss

Bombada Coach, Lamin Anthony Ceesay, has blamed his players for letting away its lead to go down 2-1 in a derby game against Brikama United at the Box Bar Mini-Stadium on Sunday.

Mustapha Drammeh had scored to put Bombada ahead after 40 minutes but Ensa Badjie ensured parity for Brikama ten minutes into the second half and the same player added a second in the 66th minute to turn the game on its head.

Speaking at a post-match interview, a furious Ceesay said his players’ lack of concentration is to blame for the defeat. He said his defenders and the goalkeeper gave the points away to their nemesis. He, however, expressed hope of making it to the top half of the table, adjusting that they have a long way to go before the league ends.

For Sulayan Kuyateh, the Brikama United Coach, despite the win, their scoring problems continue to hurt them. He said they could’ve scored a minimum of five goals but he was quick to recognise the importance of the three points after closing the gap on league leaders Gambia Ports Authority to four points.

“Before this game we were at fourth position but this win has now taken us up to second position; all we now need to do is to work harder to get there [top of the table] soon,” Kuyateh added.

“Playing with Bombada is no longer a derby to me as we have played more than enough and we only drew once, all the test games were won by my team so I guess playing with the team now is like a normal training session to me. When we conceded a goal in the first half, I told my boys in the dressing room that, losing against them will be the last thing Brikama should do, so we returned in full force and collect all points,” Kuyateh boasted.
