The 2025 Lagos State Secondary Schools Handball Championship (Opeifa Cup) continued in spectacular fashion on Wednesday, October 29, as the tournament’s third day delivered a feast of goals, drama, and exceptional performances across the senior and junior girls’ categories.

In the senior girls’ division, Keke Senior High School fell 1–3 to a disciplined CMS Grammar School side, while Creek Senior High School edged Cardoso Senior High School 2–1 in a closely fought encounter that kept fans on the edge of their seats. Jagunmolu Girls and United Christian College played out a hard-earned 1–1 draw in their opener, but Jagunmolu bounced back impressively later in the day with a commanding 5–1 victory over Girls Senior High School.

Elsewhere, Government College Agege and Lagos City College shared the spoils in a 1–1 draw, before Government College returned to action with a narrow 1–0 win over United Christian College in a tight, tactical duel.

The junior girls’ matches were equally entertaining. Igbobi Junior High School narrowly lost 1–2 to Herbert Macaulay Junior High School, while Ikeja Junior Girls and Government College played out a 0–0 stalemate. Government College, however, roared back with a convincing 3–1 victory over Dolphin Junior School in their next fixture.

There were also dominant displays from Muslim Junior College and United Christian Junior School, who both recorded emphatic 10–0 wins over Okesuna Junior School and Greek Junior School, respectively. Dolphin Junior School later cruised to a 5–0 win against Ikeja Junior Girls, while United Christian Junior School capped off a perfect day with another strong 3–0 triumph over Government College.

The competition continues to gather momentum as teams battle for qualification spots, with more excitement expected in the days ahead.
