Defending Champions, FOSLA Academy Wednesday whitewashed Government Science Technical College, GSTC, Garki, Abuja 11-1 to reach the final of the FCT National Principal’s Cup.

Zekeri Simeon who led the boys in the annihilation, scored a glut (5 goals) as the coach Mary Godspower-led boys secured a 7-0 half time result.
Simeon’s glut was consolidated by two braces from Tukura Joel and Muhammed Suleiman.
Gideon Goodlad and Nawas Abdullahi all scored a goal apiece to round up the game.
GSTC had their consolation in the second half but it was to late too little to galvanise any moral for fight back.
Speaking after the match, Coach Mary Godspower who expressed delight over the outcome, praised her boys for playing to instructions but warned them that the work is half done.
Coach Mary, former Super Falcons player added that the Academy has a target to retain the cup they have won many times.
