Lagos Agog As Zenith Bank Women’s Basketball League Final 4 Dunks Off

All eyes will be on the Indoor Sports Hall of the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos,

as the four best teams from the Savannah and Atlanta Conferences of the Zenith Bank Women’s Basketball League take on one another for the ultimate prize.

The season which started months ago saw two teams, Nigerian Customs and Air Warriors emerging from the Savannah Conference while MFM Women Basketball Club and Bayelsa Blue Whales made it to the final from the Atlantic Conference.

Nigerian Customs brave the odds in their conference, winning all their games to come to Lagos unbeaten and will be looking forward to winning the title in the absence of perennial winner, First Bank of Lagos, who falter during the Second Phase of the Atlantic Conference in Asaba, Delta State.

Air Warriors’ ambition of retaining the title will be put to test in Lagos after losing both games against Nigerian Customs in the First and Second Phase of the Savannah Conference while MFM will be hoping to make it second time lucky after finishing second in the last edition of the league.

Bayelsa Whales, created less than a year ago, will be targeting a good finish to their journey as they already performed beyond expectations, getting to the finals in their first season.

The first game will be between Nigerian Customs against debutants Bayelsa Blue Whales with the two teams that played the last edition final, while Air Warriors take on MFM Women.

On Wednesday, October 18, it will be another battle of supremacy between the two top teams from each conference, Nigerian Customs against Air Warriors and MFM against Bayelsa Whales.

The final day of the three-day competition will see the Customs up against MFM and Air Warriors wrapping up the season with a game against Bayelsa Whales.

Speaking with our correspondent, the MD/CEO of Zenith Bank Plc, Ebenezer Onyeagwu, appreciated the efforts of all the teams that started the competition while also reiterating the commitment of the financial institution to continue to support sports in Nigeria.
