Nigeria Rugby national team, Black Stallions star, Thankgod Okafor is excited to win the Portuguese national rugby championship title, according to reports by sports247
“Words cannot describe the happiness and joy I have at this moment of being a champion my God is good all the times I shall forever praise your name.
There is always a say ‘do your best and leave the rest to God Almighty’, I’m very proud of the boys for a fantastic performance and will like to take this opportunity and thank the Montemor staff especially Todinha for being with me in the hospital after having a hectic concussion during the match feeling much better all thanks to God,” Okafor said.
RC Montemor won the national championship of the first rugby division, corresponding to the second national level, by beating Benfica 17-11 in the final in Lisbon last weekend.
The Alentejanos scored the first try through Okafor (33 minutes) and Miguel Casadinho (65), both of them converted by João Bibe, who totalled seven points. Bibe then increased their lead with a 53-meter drop goal to put the game beyond benefice’s reach.
RC Montemor won the third title in the second tier after having also won the title in 2013 and 2016.
Okafor has been in top form for Montemor since joining from Cowrie Rugby Football Club in December 2017.
