Fortune FC, alias the Petroleum Boys, are the defending champions of the Gambia Football Federation Division One League. They have achieved this maiden success in the 2020/21 GFF Division One season, thanks to an outstanding performance that they have put across throughout the campaign.
But like always, outstanding performances attract rewarding accolades. This was justified in the Gambia Football Players Association Awards Night on Saturday.
The Petroleum Boys have shown remarkable performances collectively en route to their title success. This was evident as they won the league in style, their maiden league title in the Gambian top flight. However, there have been some players in their title-winning side that have shown tremendous individual performances that deserve some honors.
Yankuba Sabally, their goalkeeper, went home with the Goalkeeper of the Season award after his remarkable season of wowing saves and stunning blocks. He has also managed to keep a lot of clean sheets en route to their glory.
Bernard Sylva won himself the GFF Division One Goal of the Season award under the male category for his belter against Brikama United. Ben boast a very lethal shooting technique that defies normalcy.
The Player of the Season accolade went to Lamin Saidykhan, Fortune FC midfield maestro. He has a famous moniker in Lefoe. With his consistency, accurate passing strength, agility and stamina, as well as his outstanding accuracy with dead balls and free kicks; the Fortune FC midfielder outperformed everyone else to the big gong.
Petroleum Boys – the team that doesn’t make noise.
