On the subject of Junior Championships, Nduka Ugbade of Nigeria, who played
for some time in Spain with Castellon & Real Aviles and is now back in Nigeria
is going for a unique record : playing in the World Cup at all levels -
Senior, Youth & u-17 . He won the World u-17 cup with Nigeria (captaining the 
side) in 1985 & played in 2 World Youth Cups. After Nigeria's brilliant
victory over S. africa Nigeria look good bets to qualify.

One last bit of News : Ashante Kotoko (Kumasi) have retained the Ghanaian 
Championship (their 17th title) with 40 pts from their 26 matches,
overtaking Hearts of Oak (Accra) ,who finished on 37, on the final run-in
Kotoko had blown a 6 point lead early in the season & fell behind Hearts of
Oak before they were stung into action.The title ,however, only seemed certain
to go to them after Hearts of Oak had lost to relegated Corners on the 2nd
last weekend, their Romanian coach, Gavrila threatening resignation.
