Channels National Kids Cup Quarter Final Teams Emerge

Schools from Delta, Nasarawa, Kogi, Edo, Osun, Kaduna, Kwara and one from Lagos State have qualified for the quarter-finals of the Channels National Kids Cup.

Day three action of the season eight championship produced 44 goals, with Kaduna emerging the highest scoring side from the group phase.

Five schools were seeking qualification into the quarter-finals on the Day Three of the championship, as three schools had qualified after the second day of the group stage games.

In Group A, National Primary School, Lagos and Pilot Primary School, Katsina needed a win to pick the remaining ticket from the group.

The Lagos team won 5-1 to advance.

St James Government School from Osun ruled Group B and they confirmed their superiority by achieving maximum points.

Kwara and Kaduna advanced from Group C.

Focal Point Primary School also played admirable football.

Group D always produces talking points.

Last year, Nana Primary School from Delta was sent out of the competition in the Semis by Edo and when both sides met again this year, they displayed their rivalry by playing 2-2.

Premier School from Anambra beat Anwairudeen of Ogun but the result was not good enough.

The tournament has entered the quarter-final stage and that is the real deal.

Lagos will be looking to prevail over Osun while Kwara will be working hard to continue their fine form.
