Storylines

Go Round FC: After blowing out Excellent FC 2-0 in the opener, continued their impressive run in the competition with a 1-0 win over Godspenal FC and a 3-0 walkover win against Rolly FC. Their sterling performance in the group stage did set up the right mindset as they overcame hard fighting Goddosky FC 3-0 in the semi final.

Scoring a total of 6 goals from open play without conceding any, not many will bet against the “Omoku Landlords” from winning the final match.

Excellent FC: Hard to believe that after losing 0-2 in their opening match, Excellent FC would still match on to the final. Finishing second on the log in Group A, Excellent FC were in some serious momentum by defeating T.Akoma 2-1 in the semi-final to move on. Consistently quality in attack, the concern is the defense, which at times can be a bit slow to react. They’ll have their hands full with Go Round, but they have the players to pull off the upset.
