The tenth week of the GFF first division league produced thrilling encounters as Tallinding United registered their first win of the season while Real de Banjul and GPA moved closer to the top of the table putting pressure on leaders Fortune FC. Real is now just 4 points behind while GPA is 5 points adrift of the leaders Fortune FC.

Real de Banjul and their off-shoots played as equals in the first match of the week with Elite UTD hoping to continue their unbeaten form but big brother Real’s Mamadi Ngum put a brake on matters when he blasted a splendid goal that handed Real de Banjul a one-nil victory.
