Hon. Oladimeji Bankole, Abdulmalik Badamasi, Hamisu Buba and their captain Mustapha Junaid by 3-2 ½ to win the prestigious president Cup.
The final match was played on Saturday January 19 and the presentation of the trophy was performed by Senator Emmanuel Diffa, a member Board of Trustee.
Hon. Ibrahim Kontagora paid glowing tribute to his team mates after they survived the most nerve-racking of scares to write their names in gold.
“The finale was great and I want to thank the players for their concentration and determination and I must also thank our teeming fans for standing by us always” he stated.
“We had to dig deeper than ever before and it’s hard to get it to sink in, but I am so proud of every single one of them,” said Hon. Ibrahim Kontagora after the final game at Port-Harcourt polo ground”.
