Expectedly, Wikki Tourists at the weekend at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium, Bauchi beat second placed Kwara United 1-0 to maintain top position in the Nigeria National League (NNL) Division A in an epic battle for the three points at stake.
Wikki Tourists had now garnered 18 points, opening two points ahead of Mighty Jets, Spotlight, Plateau and Adamawa United with 16 points each after their victories at the weekend to keep pace with the front runner.
Also, Shooting Stars defeated hard fighting First Bank FC of Lagos 2-1 at Adamasingba Stadium but still failed to lead the log following top leaders Gabros International of Nnewi’s scoreless draw with Prime FC to maintain its position at the top. ABS of Ilorin failed to pick up points on the road in Benin City where it suffered 0-2 loss to Bendel Insurance.
Stationery Stores’ romance with Coach Fatai Amao paid off as the Adebajo Babes defeated Unicem 2-0 in Lagos. Other interesting results were recorded across the nation as fans had opportunities to watch their local heroes.
