Banjul who made a shock exit from the competition last year are leaving nothing to chance in their efforts to avoid the recurrence of last year's humiliation.

The City Boys were the weeping boys in their group last year falling 4-0 victims at the hands of Brikama in their first match and Sukuta were only a goal short in repeating the same scoreline in their second match. Facing early exit from the competition, Banjul scored their first and only goal of the competition as the again lost 2-1 to unfancied Gunjur in their last match.

Bakau on the other hand will be seeking to better their lot in the history of the Super Nawettan competition having failed to make the final last year after succumbing to 1-0 defeat to Brikama at the semifinal level.

The other matches on Thursday will feature Serrekunda West against Lamin at the Serrekunda East ground and Gunjur take on Brikama at the West ground.
