A goal from Abdullahi Azeez, five minutes into the game gave the Rockford boys an early lead, finishing up with 4 goals to nothing in just the first half of the match.

Shattered by the goals, the Jibowu boys managed to put up a good fight but with a weak defense that left the goal keeper vulnerable, it was only a matter of time for Rockford to tip in an extra three goals.

With the grassroots finals over, 32 schools will now proceed to the regional stage where they will be grouped into 8 regions; West, Middle Belt, South, East, South East, North West, North and North Central.  Thereafter, winners from each of the regions will go ahead to slug it out at the National finals in Lagos.
