Gateway, Zamfara 2 others down, as Enyimba zoom on
Coaches were sacked; just as players were constantly replaced; all to no avail. At the end of hostilities, Gateway FC led three others; Zamfara (41 points from 38 matches), Gabros FC 46 points from same number of matches and NPA Seasiders FC 47 points from 38 matches, to the lesser division of the Nigerian football league. Just as the sad cords were being pulled on Gateway and co, four other teams, were toasting and clinking glasses over having done well. Enyimba FC, the peoples elephants had reasons to sound a louder trumpet than the other two. The Aba Boys made true their promise to pick-up the two pride prizes in the nation's football calender...the FA and the League trophies; both are resting in the Umuahia Government House of Abia State; afterall, the team, with all it enviable exploits both home and abroad, have no Club House or Administrative Complex. While Enyimba FC grossed 72 points from their 38 matches, Rangers FC, trailed behind by Nationale made it 67 points and 65 points respectively to place second and third on the table.
