United teed off their campaign on a 2-1 defeat to Brikama United at home to the Sateba outfit.
The Buffer Zone side could have raced into an early lead but had their efforts going wide. It wasn’t a one-way traffic either with Banjul United wandering into the hosts half a number of times.
When midfielder Omar Jaiteh found striker Muhammed Samba in the box in the 76 the minute, it was trouble brewing. Samba chested to lob the ball over his marker but his resultant volley agonizingly went little wide the left post.
It eventually ended goalless between the two sides. Banjul United scooped all points on 1-0 when the duo met last year February 9.
