Wallidan has breezed into finals of the FA Cup after shoving off Marimoo in the semis yesterday.
Both sides settled for a drab draw before settling it out on post-match penalties.
The Blue Boysmanaged to score all five penalties against second division surprise team of the year Marimoo’sthree.
With the victory, they now face a herculean task against league joint table-topper Gamtel. Gamtel has scooped the title a record fourth time and are now looking to make it a quintet.
But for that to be attained they must first brush aside competition from Wallidan who have their sight on clutching the silverware to make up for their blip in the domestic league front.
Gamtel sealed a ticket to the finals after beating Brikama United on penalties after allocated time drew blank.
The telecom giants had been scooping the gong on back-to-back basis as TaphaManneh turned Gamtel into sort of Cup specialists.
The side missed out on the title for the first time the previous campaign as Gamtel finished the season barren of trophies and having to contend without playing any CAF tournament.
But gaffer Manneh looks more determined than ever to ensure he re-claims the coveted title as he chases a double with his side also in the running for the domesticleague trophy.
