GTBANK MASTERS CUP
(formerly Heritage Cup)SEMIFINAL: Western College &St Gregory College
A SCENE DURING THE SOCCER FIESTA RECENTLY
The battle line is drawn at GTBank Masters Cup season 4 as
Onikan Stadium, Lagos is set to match the ground for Western College, Yaba and
St Gregory’s College Obalende in an all trilling semi final on Friday June 12th 2015
by 2pm.
Western College, Yaba has been participating in the GTBank Masters Cup since inception but they have not gotten
past the semi-final round of the tournament. This season, they will be
playing St. Gregory’s College, Obalende at the Semi-Finals
Western College emerged top of Group-D after winning all
their matches and scoring 10 goals in the process, 5 of these goals were scored
by their prolific striker Ekene Jebefume. At the quarterfinals, they faced stiff
opposition from C.M.S Grammar School, Bariga whom they defeated on penalties after the
dramatic game ended 3-3 in regulation time. Ekene got a hat trick in that game and
inspired his team to victory.
But St. Gregory’s College will be a tough nut to crack. They
emerged tops from their group, which had heavy weights like the former
champions, Eko Boys, Mushin and Baptist Academy, Obanikoro. They went ahead to defeat old rivals Kings College, Lagos 4-1 at the quarterfinals. The St.
Gregory’s team is technically sound and also sharp on the attack. Their lead
striker Obi David has
gotten 2 hat tricks in this competition and has a total of 8 goals thus far,
making him the joint top scorer of the tournament with Ekene Jebefume.
But this does not faze Western College. According to their striker Ekene, he said,
“I will score against St. Gregory’s College and we will win the trophy”. He is
very optimistic that they will emerge victorious when they face the Obalende Boys.
In other encounter of the day, Queens College, Yaba will slog it
out with Ansar UD-Deem College, Isolo in the female encounter
The stadium is set and wide open, fans are trooping in to Onikan
Arena to support their own. While working on their past not to hunt them, Will
Western College break the Semi-Final jinx this season? Who will outshine each
other - Ekene or David? Surely, this GTBank Master Cup Semi-Final fixture promises to
be a cracker and a must-watch.
