Students and football lovers in Ogun State defied the torrential rainfall as they trooped out en mass for the semi-final fixtures of the GTBank Ogun State Principals Cup at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abeokuta on Tuesday, June 20, 2017.

The female fixture was between Makun High school, Sagamu and Muslim high school, Isolu and remained inseparable after extra-time before Muslim High school narrowly secured their ticket to the finals by winning 3-4 on penalties.

Iko Gateway Grammar School, Idiroko secured the only goal of the second game of the female fixture in the 19^th minute through Hannah Adeyanju. Her goal was enough to send her side to the finals and eliminate Our Lady of Apostles, Ijebu Ode.

The day came to a climatic finish with a 2-0 humbling of Ijebu Ode Grammar School, Ijebu Ode by Ipara Community High School, Ipara.
