Cup Winners and 2014 quarter finalist Kumbo Strikers Sunday 2, August 2015
clinched One of the regional tickets to represent the Northwest at the final
phase of the Cup of Cameroon.
Kumbo
Strikers qualified after beating 1979 finalist PWD Bamenda 1-0 in the crowded
Bamenda municipal stadium.
Thousands
who showed up for the game with a majority from Kumbo-Bui Division home town of
Kumbo Strikers watched a good football spectacle staged by two historic
football teams in the Northwest Region of Cameroon with many expressing
satisfaction with the level of play.
“I
am very happy like anyone who gets a win …… I am satisfied with my boys though
more work has to be done to better prepare them to ably represent the Northwest
Region…… I cannot say how far we will go but it is our wish to go pass last
year’s record of quarterfinals.” Coach Festus Ngwafang told hilltopvoices.
According
to PWD’s captain, his team lost concentration from the beginning to the end of
the game.
As
has been the case, the winner of the Regional Cup qualifiers joins the league
One and Two Representatives since they automatically qualify for the 32nd
finals. It is therefore expected that Kumbo Strikers will join Ngoketunjia FC
and National Polytechnic FC of league Two and Yong Sports Academy YOSA of
league One making it four teams from the Northwest at the final phase of the
Cup of Cameroon.
