Eko Bombers Win Ozalla Muoghalu Cup
Soccer Fans in the ancient
city of Ichida Town in Aniocha Local Government Area of Anambra State were treated to fine football artistry last Easter Sunday April 20, 2014 when the final of the third edition of Ozalla Muoghalu Super Cup football competition was decided at Ichida Mini-Stadium.
The keenly contested final encounter which was watched by a massive crowd saw Eko Bombers FC of Lagos outscoring her opponent, Student Union FC of Ichida 2-0 to lift the coveted giant gold trophy at stake.
However, it would be pertinent to note that both finalists Eko Bombers and Student Union, actually gave a good account of themselves to the admiration of soccer fans in attendance.
Speaking while presenting the trophy to the eventual winner of the competition Eko Bombers FC, sponsor /cup donor, High Chief Lord Mike Ezedimora commended the two finalists for exhibiting high football standard which invariably held soccer fans spell bound all through the duration of the game.
“No doubt, the Eko Bombers actually lived up to their boasting that they would win this year’s trophy after losing out at the finals last year.”
“In fact, I have the belief that other teams will also rise up to the challenge to justify their ratings as well come next year” Ezedimora remarked.
While appreciating the contribution of all in making the competition a huge success, the visibly elated Ezedimora assured that he will continue to uphold the sponsoring of the grassroots football competition in Ichida town in a much as there is life.
On his part, the special guest of honour at the competition the Igwe Ohazurunye, Obi II of Ichida His Royal Majesty Chief Charles Ezeudogu, commended the cup donor, High Chief Ezedimora not only for his selfless humanitarian services but for continuing with his vision in giving the youths the opportunity through football competition to explore and express their talents for grab by talent chasers.
Ezeudogu also noted that it was not in doubt that High Chief Mike Ezedimora has projected the name of Ichida town in good light before the outside world, hence enjoined other well meaning sons and daughters of Ichida both home and abroad to emulate his good steps.
“Besides, let me also state here that I am very proud of Ichida youths, having seen their commitment and determination to excel in life, therefore I will try as much as I can to support the competition come next year.”
