Team Lagos Win Maiden FOYSSTON Cup

Team Lagos beat Team Ekiti 3-2 on penalties on Thursday to lift the maiden Fountain Youth Sports Club Soccer Tournament (FOYSSTON) in a hard fought contest at the Sports Complex of Federal Polytechnic Ado-Ekiti.

The finals lived up to expectations with the game decided on penalties after full time ended goalless.

The game was overly physical with loads of rough tackles and both sides played with a determined attitude.

The tournament was designed as a recruiting ground to fish out hidden talents that will dorn the colour of Nationwide League One side, Fountain Youths Sports Club of Ado Ekiti.

However, a total of thirty-two players was short-listed for the next phase of the team screening exercise.

Meanwhile, Fountain Youths FC boss, Bayo Olanlege, has described the tournament as a huge success stressing that the players picked will go through rigorous screening exercise and the lucky ones will form the bedrock of the team when the Nationwide League kicks off.
