Delta Governor’s Cup winner to visit Barca, Real Madrid, final holds May 27

THOUGH, things might be looking rough for the two Spanish giants, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid in the on-going UEFA Champions League, but organisers of the maiden Delta Governor’s Cup competition have concluded plans to send the winner to Spain for a playing tour, which may take the young lads to Camp Nou home ground of FC Barcelona and the Bernabeu of Real Madrid.
Oraginsers of the competition have fixed May 27, which is Children’s Day nationwide, as final of the competition at the Warri City Stadium.
At the meeting of the Main Organising Committee (MOC), headed by the Commissioner for Education (Secondary and Basic), Prof. Patrick Moubogare, during the week in Asaba, it was decided that final should be celebrated along the Children’s Day activities since the Governor’s Cup football competition is for school children.

     Other side attractions like musical concert by school children and traditional dance by a select group have also been lined up for the day.
The last four schools standing in the race will file out for the semifinal contest on May 22 at Agbor and Oleh Township Stadium, while the third place match will hold on May 24 at the newly completed Sapele Township Stadium.
While giant killers, Comprehensive Secondary School, Ogwashi-Uku, will knock horns with Edjekota Secondary School, Ughelli in one of the semi-final matches at the Agbor Stadium, Dom Domigoes School, Warri and Alegbo Secondary School, Effurun will play in the second semi-final at Oleh Stadium.
The winner of this year’s Delta Governor’s Cup will have the opportunity of visiting either Spain or England for a playing tour later this year. The champion will also pocket N2 million in addition to a brand new school bus.
The second position will also have a brand new school bus and one million cash prize, while the third position will have a school bus and N500,000.00.
