A brace from Bisenty Mendy and a goal from Bubacarr Suso was enough for the Gambia U-17 to record an impressive 3-2 win over Gambinos Stars Africa in an entertaining game played at the Gambinos Sports Complex in Mandinary on Saturday 15th March 2024.

The Baby Scorpions put a strong fight back after going a goal down in the seventh minute, as Bubacarr Suso set up Bisenty Mendy to level matters two minutes later. Coach Yahya Manneh’s charges took the lead through Bubacarr Suso, assisted by Alagie Baba Leigh before Bisenty Mendy completed his brace four minutes from the break.

Gambinos pulled one back in the second half, but the Baby Scorpions held on to clinch the victory in what was a tense game. The team will take a break on Sunday before it resumes training on Monday at the National Technical Training Centre in Yundum.
