Inter Lagos make history
In the first time of asking, the Pride of Lagos, Inter, will play for a chance to be in the NPFL after an expected 2-0 win against Ijebu United on Sunday.

Oga Boys end on a high
Meanwhile, at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan, Ikorodu City, who entered the final day of the season as the only team in the conference to confirm their super 8 place, did not take their foot off the pedals.
Despite securing a ticket, the Oga Boys put ona show in their final home match, putting four goals past Giants Brillars.
With the results, Ikorodu wrapped up the regular season as group winners with 36 points, just one ahead of second-placed Inter Lagos.
Both sides will now head to Enugu for the all-important Super 8 which will confirm teams that will be promoted to the NPFL next season.
