Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Falcons FC continued their unbeaten run in the league after defeating fellow newly promoted side Samger FC 1-0 in the earlier game played at the Late Ousman Saho Field in Old Yundum on Friday.<\/p>\n

Last season\u2019s GFF 2nd Division League champions Falcons FC scored the game\u2019s only goal in the 15th minute to see themselves joined top position in the league.<\/p>\n

Academy Boys, Samger FC who are yet to record a win currently sit second from bottom position (15) with just a single point after drawing one and losing two games, while Falcons FC, who are yet to concede defeat occupy top position with 7 points after winning two and drawing one game.<\/p>\n
