Final Round [Jun 3]
Real (Banjul) 1-0 Sait Matty (Bakau)
Mass Sosseh --- Wallidan (Banjul)
Real (Banjul) have won the title; an appeal against that was rejected.
Relegated: Flamenins FC (Banjul) and Saraba FC
Promoted: NPE (Sukuta) and Armed Forces (Banjul).
NB: according to the home site of the Gambia FA:
GPA (i.e. Ports Authority) made a come back with newly promoted
Latdior FC from Bakau when Starlight and Armed Forces FC relegated
and Real FC won the league unbeaten in 16 matches.
This makes no sense at all unless it refers to 1996/97 and even
then the relegation of Starlight was apparently revoked.
