Speaking after the game, an elated principal partner of Falana & Falana, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), who watched the proceeds from the stand, expressed his happiness with the victory.

“This is great, although the officiating of this final was poor. I am happy that both teams that played in the final are human rights advocates. As is normal in every sport, a winner must emerge. I am glad we did.”
