Elsewhere on Sunday, Hawks began their new campaign with a 2-0 defeat of Banjul United in a match played at Bakau’s Independence Stadium. Modou Camara and Baboucarr Faal scored the goals to ensure the three points.
Wallidan secured a similar scoreline defeat of Elite United with Abdoulie Manneh giving them an early lead before Muhammed Sarr ensured the win from the penalty spot. Manneh, Alagie Gibba and John Mendy all came closed to adding a third for the Blues but failed to convert their chances.
