The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) and Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) sponsored team in the ongoing Bayelsa State Governor’s Cup tournament otherwise called ‘Prosperity Cup’ has crashed out of this year’s edition of the tournament after losing narrowly by 0-1 to Udi United.
The team made up of selected journalists from Bayelsa State Council of NUJ failed to progress into the next stage of the tournament after falling to young talented Odi United opponents at the match played at Sabagriea Centre in Kolokuma-Opokuma Local Government Area of the state over the weekend.
A goal by Achimota Ebiladou Godspower in the 56th minute was all that ended Team NUJ/SWAN campaign in what was arguably a keenly contested match.
The NUJ/SWAN Team missed two clear opportunities to draw level and were denied by good goalkeeping when substitute John Angese headed from close range off a corner kick in the closing stages of the tension-soaked encounter.
In the other game, Sampou FC edged Creek FC by three goals to one, courtesy Kingbo Godstime’s brace and Doubara Ugiri’s effort. Teka Boss restored some pride for Creek FC late in the encounter.
At the Odi Center, Adaka Boro FC beat Bina FC by three goals to two while Opuokun FC were one – nil winners over De Rhema FC.
It was another lone goal victory for Dynamite FC at the Eniwari centre as Bomo-ibe United were shown the exit door.
The deciding goal in the 28th minute of the match.
