I must use this opportunity to praise some individuals who put in extra work into the Team and Platoon to make this dream a reality
1) Mr Omokri Babatunde, The Platoon Officer. Without his enormous supports, physically, morally and financially to the Team and Platoon, this won't have being a dream come true.

And also in the Semifinals match with also ended in a draw [2-2] which he [lbebugwu Chukwuemeka] saved two penalty kick and won the match 4-1 win.
