Offa Grammar School have emerged champions of the maiden Olofa football tournament after they recorded a 2-0 Victory over Ansarul Islam College Offa in the final played at the Offa Township
Kwara State.

An end to end stuff it was as both teams came out with lots of motivation and determination with the top crown in sights as they went toe to toe, but it was Offa Grammar School who got the lead courtesy of a half strike volley from their No.7 seven jersey player, Kolawole Samad few minutes before the break.

Ansar-ul Islam came out searching for an equalizer in the second half mounting pressure on Offa Grammar School defense but couldn’t penetrate as the men on orange jersey held on and later put the icing on the cake with their second goal through Mathew Tayo from a lovely counter attacking play.

Two nil it ended at the blast of the final whistle to claim the top prize of the maiden competition which began on the 6th of March 2022 with 16 teams in participation.

In the third place match played earlier, ECWA Secondary School Igbaja defeated Ira Grammar School one nil to claim bronze with substitute Kastina Habakkuk being the hero of the day as his second half header gifted ECWA the victory.

Offa Grammar School got their campaign in the maiden Olofa Football Tournament & Scouting programme for secondary schools off in a flying start after they flogged Olalomi Comprehensive High School 3-0.

The first game on MatchDay 2 lived up to the hype as Offa Grammar School football team ran riot putting three goals past a helpless Olalomi Comprehensive High School to go top of Group C with a plus two goals difference.

Unique International School Ikirun are placed second in Group C after they pipped Government Day Secondary School of Ilorin by a lone goal.

Group D looks like a ‘Group of Death’ as the four teams have taken a point each in their opening matches.

In the contest between two former missionary owned schools Anglican Comprehensive College and Ansarul Deen College, both teams had to share the spoils after the game ended 1-1 at the Pitch 2 of the Offa Stadium.

Last fixture for MatchDay 2 ended in a drab draw after Iludun-Oro Comprehensive High School and ECWA College Igbaja failed to find the goal in regulation and added time.

Action continues on Friday as Government Secondary School Ilorin who walked over Comprehensive High School Ajase-Ipo, will hope to go six point on Group A if they beat St Marks Secondary School Offa in a 9:am fixture billed for Offa Stadium main pitch.

Comprehensive High School Ajase-Ipo who lost their opening group game will host Moremi High School Offa at 9:am at the Offa Stadium 2nd pitch.

It will be a contest of two brothers as
Ansarul Islam Secondary School Offa will host Ansarul Islam Secondary School Ikotun-Ile in the third fixtures of MatchDay 3.

Ira Grammar School Ira could go six points in Group B if they beat Government Secondary School Offa in a top of the table clash.
