SK West Seek to End Super Nawettan Jinx By Modou Nyang
Serrekunda West has never won the Super Nawettan competition despite their classification as one of the big four zones. And that is exactly what they want to put an end to this year according to Pa Sulay Jobe, President of the Serrekunda West Nawettan zone. “It is only luck that we lacked [over the years], it’s is not that we present bad teams” Jobe said. But the Serrekunda West sports administrator is confident this time around that his boys will deliver the evasive title to the football lovers in his zone. “It is out main objective this year, we will do our best to win the title,” he added.
Serrekunda west have played in five finals since the start of the Zonal/Super Nawettan football competition. When they last reached the final in 2004, they were denied by lowly Sukuta who won it for the first time. Zones such as Lamin and Brikama have placed their hands on the coveted title once each with Serrekunda East and Banjul winning it most out of the eight team competition, leaving only Serrekunda West and Gunjur out in the cold. But Pa Sulay remained defiant: “There is no zone that has ever won the title without us defeating them [along the way]. [And I hope] that this time we will utilise all our potentials to win it”, he added.
The program officer of the zone coach Balajo concurred with his colleague maintaining that Serrekunda West always presents a good side for the competition. “Serrekunda West [always] present good teams” Balajo started. “[We have] talented and promising players, we always reach the semis or final and will end up not making it”. Balajo added that through his role as the program Officer of the zone, he [will] ensure that this year become a different one in the history of the zone regarding the Super Nawettan competition. “We have selected players for the competition and the final 25 that is selected will be [handled] by five coaches selected from the teams that participated in the Nawettan. [So] I am sure that this year is [going to be] ours”.
