SK/West Nawettan: Bilbao leads opening week with a bang

By Saderr Cham

The first week of the new season in Serekunda West produced thrillers, sweats and guts for the 40 teams gunning for the league title.
Among the week’s epic matches were felllow newcomers Runn Mango FC and Newcastle, who in their maiden encounter, fought a 0-0 draw.
The impressive side of the week though was last year’s league cup finalist Bilbao FC, who trashed Tranquil FC 4-1, to open up a lead supported by a superior goal difference above the rest. Last year’s quarter finalist Babun Fatty secured a 3 -2 win against Serekunda West veterans (Old Hands).
Though they came out with a win, fans of Babun Fatty were not impressed that a team like Old Hands was able to keep them at bay and even shocked them with an equaliser that kept them worried throughout the match. 
On rather emotional note, the much expected clash between Unicorns FC and Team Onana FC was postponed when news arrived of the demise of a parent of a Team Onana player.
Meanwhile, action resumes today as the season enters the second week with Jeshwang City, fresh from licking their wounds from a Super Cup defeat taking on Old Jeshwang in the afternoon kick off as Jarington FC meets Manga 11 in the evening.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, Cambell Town FC, fresh from a historic Super Cup triumph will take on Jattaz in the afternoon game while Real De Jeshwang lock horns  with Happapa FC in the evening fixture.
