At the end of the third week of Unity Community Games at Ifetedo Alagbole, Ogun State, Ogunleye Ogunaike zone is still leading other participating zones on the medals table.
Right from the start of this yearâ€
Hence, it did not come as a surprise to many, when the medals table was revealed at the close of last weekendâ€
Oshin, the host, follows closely at the second position with 7 points, while the duo of Fakeye and Ade-Odeniyi zones have 4 points each. Dele Ajayi zone is occupying the rear with 2 points.
Soccer actions that were decided at the weekend saw Ade Odeniyi zone playing out a 2-2 draw against Fakeye Segilola Zone. The seemingly invincible Ogunleye zone was held to a barren 0-0 draw by the weeping boys of Dele Ajayi zone.
