SINCE AM A NATIVE OF BAKAU IT ONLY RITE TO START MY GFA LEAGUE PREVIEW
WITH THE "BAKAU GIANTS" STEVE BIKO FC. ANYONE WHO IS A FAN OF BIKO HEARD THIS SAYING FOR PAST 7-10 YEARS "WE WILL WIN THE LEAGUE THIS YEAR". ALTHOUGH BIKO STARTED GREAT LAST YEAR FOR THE FIRST COUPLE WEEKS, BUT THEY WERE HANDICAPPED BY THE CALL UP'S SOME OF THEIR PLAYER INCLUDING DEFENDER OUSMAN KOLLEY, MIDFIELDER HABIB KUNTA AND BOTH OF THEIR GOALKEEPER TO THE U-17 PRESEASON TRAINING IN EGYPT, GHANA AND SENEGAL. BOTH SURUWA BOJANG AND ABDOULIE NJIE THE #1#2 KEEPER. SOME OF THE READERS MAY WONDER WHY BOTH OF THE KEEPER WERE CALL UP BY OSAM, WELL S/BIKO PLAYS EACH OF THIER KEEPER EVERY OTHER GAME "WITH I THINK IS A BAD DECEISION MAKING ON THE PART OF THE COACHING STAFF, THEY SHOULD TRY STICKING WITH ON KEEPER", BUT ANYWAYS BOTH LIE NJIE AND SURUWA BOJANG ARE TRYING TO PROF TO THE COACHING STAFF THEY SHOULD BE THE STARTING KEEPER, THEY BOTH GIVE IT ALL THEY GOT EVERY CHANCE
THEY HAVE THE CHANCE TO PLAY, (A LITTLE RIVALRY BETWEEN THE KEEPERS).
WHEN BOTH OF THE KEEPER LEFT WITH THE U-17 TEAM BIKO WAS LEFT WITH THE #3 KEEPER LAMIN "S.PATO" BOJANG, WHICH AS ALL BIKO FANS KNOW LEAD TO THE DISTERIOUS SEASON,(NOT TO TAKE ANYTHING FROM S.PATO, HE IS A GREAT KEEPER AT THE NEWATTAN LEVEL BUT NOT ON THE FIRST DIVISION LEVEL} BELOW IS MY BREAK DOWN OF BIKO POSITION BY POSITION.
GOALKEEPERS
BIKO HAVE 2 OF THE BEST KEEPERS IN THE LEAGUE RITE NOW, BOTH ABDOULIE
NJIE AND SURUWA BOJANG, THEY CAN START ON ANY TEAM IN THE LEAGUE. BOTH OF THE KEEPERS HAS PROS AND CONS, ABDOULIE NJIE IS A GOOD KEEPER BUT HE ALLOWS TOO MANY GOALS (THE U-17 WORLD CUP FOR EXAMPLE) BUT HE FEARS NO STRIKER IN THE LEAGUE. SURUWA BOJANG IS A GOOD KEEPER TOO, BUT HIS DOWN SIDE IS HIS HAND, HE SPRAIN IT WHILE IS WAS OVER-SEA,TRAINING WITH THE U-17 TEAM.
DEFENDERS.
BIKO ALWAYS HAVE GOOD DEFENDER, EVER SINCE I START WATCHING THEM. THEIR
DEFENSE LOOK GOOD THIS YEAR, WITH OUSMAN KOLLY, LAMIN SONKO, BOTH OUS
AND SONKO CAN EITHER "STOP OR SWEEP" FOR THEM AND, PLUS THEY HAVE COPUPLE GOOD RESERVE DEFENDERS. BUT THIE HALFBACKS ARE THE ONLY PROBLEMS WITH ONLY 3 NATURALLY HALFBACKS, MAINLY LAMIN "DMX" NJIE, LAMIN "SOHNA" CONTEH HARUNA "PUN" JATTA, BIKO WAS LAST YEAR FORCE TO PLAY SARJO "NJIE-BA" JOOF AN WINGER TO PLAY HALFBACK, ONE OF THEIR OPTIONS WAS TO PLAY DEMBA SANYANG (MY COUSIN BROTHER) AT HALFBACK, BUT HE WAS OUT WITH AN INJURY TO HIS KNEE. IF BIKO WANTS TO WIN THE LEAGUE THIS YEAR THEY NEED TO UPGRADE THEIR HALFBACK POSITIONS.
MIDFILDERS.
THIS YEAR I THINK BIKO HAVE A SOLID MIDFILED WITH DEMBA SANYANG, HABIB KUNTA, MUSTAPHA “TOUBABOU” JARJU, AND ALIMAMO “ZZ” DARBOE ALL OF THESE GUYS CAN START ON ANY PART OF THE MIDFIELD. BIKO STARTED THEIR SEASON AT THE MIDFIELD WITH MUSTAPHA “TOUBABOU” JARJUE AND DEMBA SANYANG ATTACKING MIDFILDER AND DEFENSIVE MIDFILDER RESPECTIVLY.
FORWARDS.
AS ALL GAMBIAN SOCCER FANS KNOW THE BEST STRIKER IN THE GFA FIRST DIVISION LEAGUE IS ASSAN “BIERFOFF” JATTA, BARNONE (MAYBE AM BEING BIAS CAUSE AM A BIKO FAN NO DISRESPECT TO DADDY GAI OF BAKAU UNITED.) WITH ASSAN AN OUSMAN “YANKER” BADJIE PAIRED UP IN THE FRONT OF THE STRIKING FORCE I THINK THEY ARE THE BEST DUO IN THE LEAGUE (THAT’S JUST MY OPINION) AND WITH ROLNALDO AND LAMIN “NYASAKASS” BALJOUR COMING OF THE BENCH THEY REALLY HAVE A GOOD STRKERS. AND SOME YOUNG TALENTS FROM “BAKAU DINGKO-KONO.” I REALLY THINK THIS IS THE YEAR BIKO WILL WIN THE LEAGUE. BELOW IS MY STARTING 11 OF S/BIKO “THE BAKAU GIANTS”
MY STARTING
4-3-3 FORMATIION
LIE NJIE (GOALKEEPER)
LAMIN "DMX" NJIE LAMIN SONKO HARUN "PUN" JATTA
OUSMAN "DALMAT" KOLLEY
ALIMAMO "ZZ" DARDOE" DEMBA SANYANG HABIB "LAMPARD" KUNTA
OUSMAN "YANKER" BADJIE MUSTAPHA "TOUBABOU" JARJUE SARJO "NJIEBA" JOOF
ASSAN "BIERFORFF"JATTA

YOU SHOULD BE FAMILAR WITH SOME OF THESE GUYS. THE TEAMS YOU MENTION ARE SO OLD SCHOOL, AGAING NO DISREPECT TO YOU, AND MY FATHERS PEERS. ITS OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW. PLEASE HELP ME PROMOTE THE "BAKAU GIANTS STEVE BIKO". WATITING FOR YOUR REPLY. |

My best memories of those Bakau Teams are from the mid 1970s. I know all those names you mentioned and many others too like Babou Sanneh, Abou Fatty, Commy Owens, Boun Njie, Modou Njie etc. and etc.
Did your father tell you that Bakau won the first National Youth Week tournament? The final was between Banjul and Bakau at the Boxbar stadium.
Thank you for bringing back memories of the good old days in Bakau. By the way I am from New Town. |

| I guess what they say is true, "When you hang around your fathers peer, they let you know same thing about what your your fathe know." No my father didn't tell me about Bakau winning the the first national youth tounament. Thanks MXC for dropping some knowledge on me, about some of the great footballers in bakau. Please look out for a website strickly about bakau football sometime in the future. Cause I will need your help on the "old School Players" no disrepect. |

| WOW, AM LEARNING ALOT, I DIDN'T KNOW EBOU SUNTU WAS A GOALKEEPER, I KNOW HIS SON BAKEBBA "DJEMBE" SIDIBEH IS A GOOD GOALKEEPER. BAKEBBA IS THE CURRENTLY THE GOALKEEPER OF BAKAU UNITED, THE FA CUP CHAMPS, AND THE HE IS ALSO THE STARTING GOALKEEPER OF THE U-23 NATIONAL TEAM. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD JUERUN "ORJU" BOJANG AS ONE OF THE GOOD PLAYERS (GOALKEEPER) FROM BAKAU, ACCORDING TO WHAT I HEARD HE DID PLAYED WITH THE NATIONAL TEAM AND HAWKS FC, IN HIS DAYS. |

| JARA K, WAS ALWAYS ACTIVE IN THE FOOTBALL COMMUNITY IN BAKAU, AND MANY MANY YOUNG PEOPLE REALLY APPRECIATED FOR THE THINGS THAT HE DID FOR THEM. THE YOUTH REALLY SHOWED THEIR APPRECIATION FOR AND HIS FAMILY WHEN HE PASSED AWAY BY FORMING A NEW TEAM CALLED "LATE JARA K F.C." HE REALY CONTRIBUTED TO THE LIVES OF MANY YOUNG FOOTBALLERS IN BAKAU, LIKE THE LIKES OF EDIRISSA SONKO AND SO ON. ANOTHER GOOD PLAYER THAT WE FORGOT TO MENTION ALEX IS PA "HONNEY JAMMEH I HEARD HE WAS ONE HECK OF A KEEPER IN HIS DAYS. |
