Three of the players from the camp accounted for a total of five goals in five out of Real de Banjul\u2019s last six matches. The trio banged goals as follows: Baboucarr Touray 2; Alasana Badjie 2; and Abdurahman Badamosi 1.<\/p>\n<p>Club President William Abraham said: \u201cI want to thank the club technical director Pa Suwareh Faye and Coach Lamin Kijera who did a great job with the twelve players during the five-week long camp. I want to thank the players for their patience and discipline. I have never heard of any bad attitudes or wrongdoing from the camp, so it means we are achieving what we desire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Club vice president Pa Yusufa Samba commented: \u201cNow that this camp has come to an end as first experiment, when you go home, try and emulate the good practices you\u2019ve learned here. The coaches will be monitoring you\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The legendary player and former coach Bye Malleh Wadda said: \u201cI will just reiterate what I have been saying during the camp. It\u2019s about taking football as career and preparing yourselves to do a job when you have the opportunity which is now. I think it\u2019s well known locally and internationally that Real de Banjul is providing best facilities, best coaches and the best opportunities for Gambian players. This experiment is just one of them and all what we are doing is to make you people better. Take these opportunities like a baton and run with it or drop it, and that is the life of sports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
