Prosperity Cup 2025: NUJ/SWAN Crash Out, As Adaka Boro, Sampou Progress

Team NUJ/SWAN narrowly missed out on progression into the next stage of the Bayelsa Governor’s Football Tournament ‘Prosperity Cup’ after a narrow one-nil defeat in hands of their younger Odi United opponents at the Sabagriea Centre in Kolokuma-Opokuma Local Government Area.

A goal by Achimota Ebiladou Godspower on 56 minutes was all that ended Team NUJ/SWAN campaign in what was arguably a the keenly contested game.

The NUJ/SWAN Team missed two clear opportunities to draw level, but we’re denied by good goalkeeping when substitute John Angese headed from close range off a corner kick in the closing stages of the tension-soaked encounter.

In the other game, Sampou FC edged Creek FC by three goals to one, courtesy Kingbo Godstime’s brace and Doubara Ugiri’s effort. Teka Boss restored some pride for Creek FC late in the encounter.

At the Odi Center, Adaka Boro FC beat Bina FC by three goals to two while Opuokun FC were one – nil victors over De Rhema FC. It was another line goal victory for Dyanamite FC at the Eniwari centre as Bomo-ibe United were shown the exit doors. The deciding goal came off the foot of Isaiah in the 28th minutes.

On Sunday, action shifts to Ogbia with Otuokpoti Center playing hosts to Otuokpen FC versus Ayalla Okiki FC while Austonee Ultimate FC battle Anyama Ogbia FC. At Otuabagi, Unmerciful FC Otuaba face Jamaica FC while the Imiringi Center will see Milcom FC take on Ewoi FC.
