Kano Pillars Wins Nigeria League (NPFL) For The Third Successive Time. by robosky02(m): 10:19pm On Nov 02, 2014 |
Kano Pillars are Nigerian champions -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kano Pillars have won the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) for the third successive time. They now join Iwuanyanwu Nationale (now Heartland) and Enyimba as the only Nigerian clubs to have won the premier division three times on the bounce. The Kano club emerged champions of the Nigerian top flight after defeating relegated Nembe City 4-0 on Sunday. The League Management Company announced via its Twitter account: "It is technically official! Kano Pillars are Glo Premier League champions for a third consecutive season." Azeez Shobowale scored twice while Gambo Mohammed returning from injury after several weeks out with a thigh injury got among the goals. The prolific Adamu Hassan also scored as Kano Pillars ran over City 4-0. Second-placed Enyimba could not keep up the pressure and force the title race down to the final day as they held Dolphins to a 1-1. Chidiebere Okolie put Dolphins ahead after 54 minutes and Enyimba were left to toil before Mfon udoh scored 21 minutes later. Kano Pillars, now on 65 points, have opened a four-point lead over Enyimba, making the final game between the two sides next Sunday just elementary. Warri Wolves who could have also forced the title race to the final day played out a surprise a 1-1 draw against relegation-threatened Gombe United. Nazim Abutrika gave Gombe United a shock lead inside the opening of the quarter of an hour. Chigozie Agbim saved a penalty off Gbolahan Salami to preserve Gombe United's lead. But Agbim could not keep out Oghenekaro Etebo's stunner in the 64th minute. Wolves remain in third place on 60 points. Abia Warriors and Nasarawa United are fourth and fifth respectively. Nasarawa United played a 0-0 draw at Rangers while goals from Marshall Okoro, Chisom Chikatara and Chima Uluocha helped Abia Warriors to a 3-0 win over Sharks. http://www.supersport.com/football/nigeria/news/141102/Kano_Pillars_are_Nigerian_champions 7 Likes 2 Shares

with just one match to go Kano Pillars have won the league after week 37 KANO PILLARS 4-0 NEMBE CITY The Sai Masu Gida wrapped up their third consecutive league crown with a game to spare after a 4-0 whitewash of hapless Nembe City at their fortress- Kano Pillars' Stadium on Sunday. Pillars still need another victory next season to equal the all time record of four successive league triumphs set by the then Inwuanyanwu Nationale(now Heartland FC) in 1987, 1988, 1989 and 1990. They will be crowned as league champions at Aba on Sunday when Enyimba who will be needing a win to guarantee their 2015 Caf Champions League ticket. DOLPHINS FC 1-1 ENYIMBA FC The People's Elephant lost their zeal to win as they could only settle for a draw in Port Harcourt in a game a win that could have kept their premier league title ambition alive. The Pride of Port Harcourt shattered Enyimba's faithful hearts when Chidiebere Okolie got the game's curtain raiser in the 54th minute but Mfon Udoh drew the Aba side level but there was no enough chance to get the second and the match winner with Sunday Rotimi having a good day at the goal posts for the home team. all the result for Week 37 GIWA FC 4-2 EL KANEMI WARRIORS KANO PILLARS 4-0 NEMBE CITY DOLPHINS FC 1-1 ENYIMBA FC SUNSHINE STARS 4-0 KADUNA UNITED ENUGU RANGERS 0-0 NASARAWA UNITED WARRI WOLVES 1-1 GOMBE UNITED ABIA WARRIORS 3-0 SHARKS FC FC TARABA 3-0 CROWN FC AKWA UNITED 0-1 HEARTLAND BAYELSA UNITED 4-1 LOBI STARS 3 Likes 3 Shares |

Ajibel: after week 37 that is only one game to go Kano Pillars have 65pts with goal diff of +18 Eyimba have 61pts with goal diff of +21 Warri Wolves have 60 pts with goal diff of +11 and the last match between Eyimba vs Kano Pillars will be in aba. so even if Eyimba wins by 10 - 0. at best they will get 3 pts to make a total of 64 pts. so even at that Kano Pillars will still be at 65 pts. so they have already won it even before that game. they will only be crown that day officially.but for now the title is for them |

Enyimba's Mfon Udoh breaks NPFL goals record with 21st strike The former Akwa United forward made it 21 goals in just 37 games against Dolphins to move a goal ahead of Jude Aneke and Emem Eduok on the all-time goalscorers' list Enyimba striker Mfon Udoh has smashed the Nigeria Professional Football League goals' record by scoring his 21st goal of the season during his side's 1-1 draw with Dolphins at the Liberation Stadium on Sunday. The 22-year-old Akwa Ibom-born star netted in the 66th minute of Sunday's NPFL Week 37 clash, thus moving him one clear of Jude Aneke and Emem Eduok in the all-time standings. Udoh, who had 20 goals before the Aba Millionaires' away encounter with Dolphins, grabbed the equalizer at the Liberation Stadium which ensured Enyimba's sixth unbeaten game this season away from home but it was not enough to keep them in the title race as Kano Pillars won the trophy for a third straight time. The former Akwa United striker, who scored 16 goals last season for the Promise Keepers before he joined Enyimba, has also scored two goals in the Federation Cup to bag 23 goals in all competitions. The Crocodiles' icon Jude Aneke hit 20 goals in the 2010/11 season of the Nigeria Professional Football League, but Udoh has now surpassed that total. He was neck and neck with Dolphins' striker Eduok who also scored 20 goals this season. Udoh equaled the all-time highest goals record of 20 goals in the Nigerian league with a brace in a 2-1 win at the Omoku Township Stadium which ensured Enyimba's second consecutive win on the road last Sunday, October 26, 2014. With a game to go, Enyimba's last match of the season is a formality clash with the new champions Kano Pillars at the Aba Stadium, which means that Udoh has the advantage of increasing his goals tally for the season. The leading goalscorer will play again in the 2014 Federation Cup finals as Enyimba and Dolphins meet at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos on November 23. Enyimba are second on the log with 61 points from 37 games. Udoh has been called up to the Super Eagles B team that will take on Ghana's Under-23 side in an international friendly to commission the Akwa Ibom International Stadium in Uyo on November 6 |
