Skye, UBA clash in Bankers Games final

Holders Skye Bank and UBA will clash in the final of the 2014 Nigeria Bankers Games football event at the National stadium in Lagos on Saturday.

To reach the final, both sides went through the group stages without losing a match, though UBA dropped points in their draw with Fidelity Bank to end on 10 points from four games while their day’s opponents took all 12 points to emerge group champions.

The Managing Director of Skye Bank Timothy Oguntayo vowed his team would retain their title, saying their opponents were no match.

He said, “We are a winning team and will continue to win. Our strength as an organisation lies in our people and we will continue to encourage platforms like the Nigeria Bankers Games that helps keep them healthy and fit.”

UBA was not left out of the mind’s game as they equally sent a strong message of intent using the occasion of the trophy presentation.

The Team Manager of UBA Emeka Udegbulem said, “UBA were the first team to lift the retired trophy and in continuation of that tradition we will lift the new Trophy. Team Skye has had their run, now it is our turn.”
