<p>Thousands converged at the Nkambe Municipal Stadium to watch the showdown between Buca Junior FC of Nwa and Bafana Bafana FC of Ndu. The build up to this 3rd Edition of Ma Yah Judith Sunday Epse Achidi's finals promised fireworks as the stakes were much more than the previous editions. Ndu Subdivision aside, any other Subdivision in their body language seemed to have been saying "not Ndu again." However, nature seemed to have been very unkind to prophets of doom of the Gateway Municipality.</p>

<p>After briefings from the technical bench during halftime, Ndu began the second half of the game with more purposeful onslaughts. Agwero mesmerized the right back of Buca Junior FC, gave a dangerous cross into the 18 meter box which Armiyahu connected beautifully through a diving header into the net. It was Bafana Bafana FC of Ndu 1, Buca Junior FC of Nwa 0.This happened at the 63th minutes or so of the game. Armiyahu had come in from the bench in this half of the game to reinforce an attack line that has been very sterile this far.</p>

<p>Buca Junior FC of Nwa gave one of the quickest and fastest response this reporter can remember in a football match. They centered the ball and did not allow any player of Bafana Bafana FC to touch when the net was found trembling in total disbelief to most supporters of Bafana Bafana. Abdu Maliki of Buca Junior FC did not hesitate to unleash a killer shot when the lion in him was threatened by the goal from the boys from Ndu.</p>
