The
GTBank Masters Cup which is in its fourth season, is a football
tournament for First Generation Heritage Colleges and Private Secondary
Schools with pedigree in Lagos State, is currently in the semi-final
round and 4 schools each in the male and female category will battle it
at Onikan Stadium on the Friday 12th and Saturday 13th June 2015.
It
will be an interesting encounter in the Male Category as St. Gregory’s
College Obalende will play Western College Yaba. St. Gregory’s College
will be riding on their memorable win against old rivals Kings College
Lagos whom they defeated 4-1 at the round of 16 while Western College
will hope to play at the finals for the first time in the history of the
competition when they file out against the Gregorians.
Debutant Jibril Martins Grammar School Iponri will be playing for glory when they face St. Finbarr’s College Akoka on Saturday June 13. Jibril Martins will be playing against a very compact St. Finbarr’s team that is very defensive and sharp on the attack.
For
the young ladies, Queens College Yaba will play Ansar Ud Deen College
Isolo in a bid to successfully defend their title. The defending
champions dominated their group which had the likes of Holy Child
College Ikoyi, Methodist Girls High School Yaba in the preliminaries
while debutant Federal Government College Ijanikin have a big task ahead
of them when they play a very attack minded Ansar Ud Deen Girls High
School Itire side.
Winners will be rewarded with the sum of N750,000.00, N500,000.00 and N350,000.00 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners respectively in both the male and female categories.
The
semi-final promises to be thrilling as schools play to book their place
in the finals. Onikan Stadium will be lit up with the display of extra
ordinary skills from these young talents.
Will
the debutants prove to be worthy opponents to the regulars? Or will the
old timers experience give them the much needed edge that will inch
them closer to glory? One thing is sure, answers to these questions will
be determined this weekend at the Onikan Stadium.
Come,
witness and support young talents as they bring to life unique and
fresh dexterity enriched with history of grassroots football in Nigeria.
