major contender for the title and so they left Lagos to be part of the
zonal finals of the Etisalat U-15 football championship quietly.
But on Monday at the Liberty Stadium in
Ibadan, Greensprings School of Lagos who are the only private school in
the tournament, emerged as winners at the Southwest qualifiers. They are
now the zone’s flag bearers for the national finals scheduled for 2015.

during the state finals in Lagos, Greensprings became the representative
of Lagos at the zonal finals and they were expected to compete against
Ekiti, Ondo, Ogun and Osun in order to determine the zone
representative.
From their first match, Greensprings

to send warning signals to other teams in the tournament.
In the final match to decide the team’s fate against Ekiti, Greensprings again performed excellently well by defeating them 2-0.
