Meanwhile the final of the squash events comes up today at the squash courts of Ikoyi Club 1938. In the ladies singles, it will be an all NNPC affair, as Kate Ezeanya who won gold in the women’s veteran category will clash with Mrs Atinuke also of NNPC in the epic final.

Ezeanya ranked number one seed is the clear favourite for the title. But against Atinuke, who is seeded 2nd, it is hard to predict. “When we get to then we will know who is the better between us,”Ezeanya told our reporter yesterday.
