Ibeju District emerged champions of the 2024 EKEDC Team Tennis Championship which ended over the weekend at the Ikoyi Club 1938.
The winning team comprising Tochukwu Adino, Muoto Eze, Bola Ayorinde, Diran Famakinwa, Pascal Ebhohimien and Wilson Egberipou amassed eight points to clinch top place at the expense of Lekki District who bagged three points.
With FESTAC and Ijora Districts already out of contention finishing as joint third, Ibeju and Lekki headed into the final match with the latter trailing by three points to four.
However, they failed to get the three points at stake in the winner-takes-all doubles match decided on the centre court of the elite club which Ibeju won on super tie-break.
Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer Eko Electricity Distribution Company, Rekiyya Momoh, expressed delight over the successful completion of the tournament which has further enhanced friendship among the members of the recreational club.
“This is part of our Corporate Social Responsibilities and we are filled with excitement to be the sponsor of this tournament. This is the third year and we can only assure you that it will continue to get bigger,” she added.
Tennis Section Chairman, Diran Famakinwa, thanked EKEDC for its continuous sponsorship declaring it has been one of the most exciting tournaments in the section.
The highlight of the colourful night which was rounded off with fireworks was the presentation of an award to EKEDC by the Tennis Section.
