 The ongoing competition started a week ago at Jakande Estate Oke Afa football pitch, Isolo. P.M. EXPRESS reports that Junction football team defeated their opponents 1-0 in an encounter watched by a mammoth crowd.

 The Chairman Organising Committee, Oluwaseun Adekoya said he was impressed with the attendance in the opening match, saying that the tourney is well publicized by media.

He described the tourney as a way of fostering spirit of friendliness and brotherhood among the youths in the Estate and urged the participating teams to shun vices that can bring the tourney into disrepute.

“We don’t expect such crowd in the opening match because we felt that the competition has just started but what we saw in the opening match was a clear indication that  Estate youths are interested in the round leather game and I am very grateful to them,” he said.
