President’s Cup victory thrills Ajetunmobi

President’s Cup victory thrills Ajetunmobi

Portugal-based Seun Ajetunmobi has described his victory at the Nigeria Table Tennis Federation organised President’s Cup as a precursor to a greater achievement for him next year. The former national champion came from behind to beat Kazeem Makanjuola 6-11, 12-10, 11-13, 11-9, 11-6, 6-11, 11-5 in the final of the tournament on Thursday.
Ajetunmobi admitted that Makanjuola of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps made life difficult for him and that he had to rely on his experience to beat his less illustrious opponent. The Gunca Sports Club of Portugal player said that he was shocked by the improvement in Makanjuola’s game which was an indication of the good work the new NTTF board is doing.

“I am happy for this victory because it was a tough match for me. Kazeem is my boy; I used to advise him on his game and I am very surprised about what I saw here today (Thursday) ,” he said. Janet Effiom beat Atinuke Olaide in the women’s category. Ajetunmobi and Effiom went home with N250,000 each, while the other competitors got N50,000 for their participation.
