The Female teams kicked off the finals as United Comprehensive High School, Wasimi Abeokuta played against Muslim High School, Isolu Abeokuta. The game started with both sides pressing each other for a goal. The goal came in the 19th minute when Adeyinka Jumoke’s freekick found the back of the net. However, the Muslim girls were not done yet. Their second goal came few minutes after the start of the second half and that delivered the GTBank-Ogun State Principals Cup trophy to them.

 

It was different in the male category –  St. Anthony’s Grammar School, Esure, Ijebu Mushin scored first when Olaide Kehinde dribbled past the Pakoto High School goalkeeper to give his team the lead. However, Pakoto High School equalized minutes before the break and it was level at half time.

 

The second half was tense as both teams pressed for the advantage but it was Ishola Damilare who scored the needed goal for Pakoto High School and they are  crowned GTBank-Ogun State Principals Cup Champions for the first time.
