GTBank-Ogun State Principals Cup (Season 5) Semi Finals
June 2017
Students and
football lovers in Ogun State defied the torrential rainfall as they trouped
out enmass for the semi-final fixtures of the GTBank Ogun State Principals Cup
at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abeokuta on Tuesday, June 20, 2017.
Makun High school,
Sagamu and Muslim high school, Isolu kicked off the female fixtures and
remained inseparable after extra-time before Muslim High school narrowly
secured their ticket to the finals by winning 3-4 on penalties
In the second game
of the female fixtures, Iko Gateway Grammar School, Idiroko secured the only
goal of the tie in the 19th minute. Hannah Adeyanju’s moment of
brilliance was enough to send her side to the finals and eliminate Our Lady of
Apostles, Ijebu Ode.
As expected, the
male category had it all - from hard tackles to great saves and spectacular
goals – to leave spectators excited. Pakoto High School, Ifo locked horns with
Anglican Grammar School. Goal scoring machine; Toheeb Olalekan of Pakoto High
scored in the 10th and 27th minute to put his side 2-0 up
and on course for victory. Anglican Grammar School, Ota rallied but were only
able to reply one of the goals in the 32nd minute.
The day came to a
climatic finish with a 2-0 humbling of Ijebu Ode Grammar School, Ijebu Ode by
Ipara Community High School, Ipara.
The much
anticipated finals will now see Muslim High school go against Iko Gateway
Grammar School in the female category while Pakoto High School will square up
against Ipara Community High School in the male category.
