Sierra Leone-born winger Tejan Brima has revealed he is ‘excited’ ahead of Lynx‘s Gibraltar Rock Cup quarter-final against holders Lincoln Red Imps on Saturday.

The 2023 Rock Cup quarter-finals will take place on the 18th and 19th of February with four intriguing ties.

Brima, 23, who signed for Lynx in July, has been a great addition and has featured in their last twenty matches in all competitions for the Gibraltar top-tier side.

“On Saturday, we are playing against one of the best teams in Gibraltar in the Rock Cup quarter-final. They are the defending Cup champions as well, It’s going to be a difficult game, but we are aiming to go all the way,” Brima told FSL News.

He added, “Our focus is mainly on the Cup because our Championship position is a bit difficult. We obviously want to do well in this season’s cup competition,” 

“This is my second quarter-final in this competition. Hopefully, this time will be victorious. No easy match when it comes to a knockout match in any competition. However, we have to be brave to play against a difficult opposition on Saturday.”

Brima and his teammates will face St. Joseph’s on Wednesday in their Championship tie before Saturdays’s Cup game.

They won 2-0 in their last meeting against Glacis United at the Gibraltar Victoria Stadium on the 4th of February.

Sierra Leone attacker Sulllay Kaikai got his first goal for MK Dons in their 1-1 draw against Oxford United at the Stadium MK on Saturday.

Kaikai scored the Dons’ opener in the 25-minutes, but Lewis Bate’s 71st-minute superb goal earned a point for Oxford at MK Dons as a reward for a much-improved second-half performance by the visitors.

The draw means Dons remain one point clear of the League One relegation zone, just their third home win of the season.

The hosts were ahead when Sullay Kaikai was allowed to cut inside from the left before he found the bottom corner from the edge of the area.

Having opened his account for his new club, Kaikai should have had his second when he shot wide of an open goal from Tennai Watson’s cut-back.

The Sierra Leone international, 27, who made ten appearances this season for the Wycombe Wanderers goal was not enough to win it for his new side.

Their wastefulness came back to haunt them in the 71st minute as Bate drew Oxford level with a wonderful strike from outside the box that flew into the top corner.

Milton Keynes Dons’ new signing Sullay Kaikai admitted he has settled in quicker after his first two games for the club.

Fellow English League One side MK Dons have confirmed the signing of Sierra Leone International Sullay Kaikai until the end of the season following his departure from rivals Wycombe Wanderers.

Kaikai, 27, played ten games this season for the Chairboys, who he joined in 2021.

The Sierra Leone International was handed his debut in their 2-0 defeat in front of home fans at their Stadium MK last weekend to Exeter City.

And the new boy was part of the Dons’ 2-0 away triumph as Bristol Rovers slumped to defeat at home.

Goals from Mohamed Eisa in the opening third minute and Max Dean’s 91st minutes were enough as Don’s moved out of the relegation zone.

“It’s been great. I’ve played back to back 90mins. I have settled in very quickly with the group, which also helps. We play a good style of football – which I am enjoying,” Kaiaki told FSL News after their away win.

“I am pleased and looking forward to continuing to help the team.”

Dons’ next outing is at home against Oxford United as they push to avoid the drop zone.
