The community of Brufut and the Youth and Sports Committee, Scanaid Fan-base specifically to those in the town of Jarra Soma and the community of Sarreh Maudo, we love you all. Great thanks to our Scanaid cook, Aunty Kumba of Sarreh Maudo, Mr. Bajo of Sarreh Maudo Lower Basic School for being our host for the past 3 years with special treatment, but hey, big shootout to Nfamara, to BIG and Scala.. you guys have Scanaid at Hearth..
This year's School Football Championship was bent on a mission, and we thank God that the mission was accomplished. The primary objective was to win it for the 3rd consecutive time in a row by playing for 5 special people; Ellen Gomez, Fatoumata Jammeh, Sirreh Korteh, Kaddy Camara and Fatou Njie. We thank God that this mission was accomplished as everyone in camp all agreed to play for the following individuals, My Ellen, My Bestie Small Baebi, Korteh 1, Mba Nyamo and My Baby Fatou, this was mission accomplished despite all the challenges faced on the way.
As the season for School Football comes to an end last week Sunday in the commercial town of Jarra Soma, we hope and pray that next year becomes bigger and better. There cannot be a perfection but this year's organisation was much better and has proof that the Gambia Secondary School Sports Association can undoubtedly do better and I believe improvement can be done on the lapses realised this year.
THANK YOU ALL!!
SCANAID TO THE WORLD.
MR. DEMBA TOURAY
