“I was seated up there with a couple of football enthusiasts, especially the proprietor of Remo Stars Honorable Soname and of course Paul Aigbogun. We were analysing the games, I think I have missed from day one.

“So, from what I saw today and the four semifinalists, I think the two teams (Plateau and Remo) that went through deserved to go through.

“But having said that, the game wasn’t that bad. I would say kudos also to El Kanemi (Warriors) because they pushed Remo to the limit and the earlier game as well was quite interesting.

“From what I have seen so far here, I think the future is very bright for the kids but the most important thing I saw was that they look very young which means they are truly under-15s. So, there is a bright future for them. I am quite impressed.”
