“Today’s performances by the ten finalists have been very good. I’ve seen a big difference compared to previous finals being hosted.The North-East schools have come of age,” President Gende observed.
“The players have been well-disciplined, competing very strongly and physically. There’s one or two areas that they need to improve on but otherwise, for both boys and girls, they did very well.
