Fortune Football Club collected their first maximum points of the season following a narrow 1-nil win over fellow strugguling side Marimoo FC.

The Petroleum boys started the campaign on a slow foot with a 4-1 trashing in the hands of Real De Banjul before a disappointing goalless draw against new Conners Steve Biko.

Speaking to Alkamba Times, head coach Jane Joof promised positive results before the end of the first round, saying: “we started slowly but we will come back stronger in our subsequent matches as there was a lot of positive changes in our performance today compared to our previous matches.”

Elsewhere in the division one league at the National Technical Training Center in Yundum, debutants Falcons FC moved on to the top of the table after three (3) matches following their 1-nil win over Samger football club.

Falcons secured seven points in the process and are currently on top of the table.

Results for division One:

Falcons 1-0 Samger
