Racing fly half, Monday Alex inspired his team to victory against a resilient Police Rugby side in the Main Bowl of the National Stadium, Surulere, at the weekend to book one of the Southwest Rugby League final tickets. They will meet defending champions, Cowrie RFC, at the Onikan Stadium on June 18.

The young fly half kicked over three penalties in the first half to give his team a 9-0 advantage within 20 minutes.

Alex collected a pass from the lineout in the opponent’s 22 meters and set up winger Imeh Okon for the opening try in the 35th minute.

Police fly half, Samson Yahaya, broke through the Racing defenceline in the 25th minute but couldn’t connect with speed star and winger, Malik Salihu.

Racing continuously played their territorial game, which had Police on the back foot all through the game as full back; Ifeanyi Arinze struggled to cope with the high balls.

In the other matches of the day, Cowrie Rugby Club defeated Gosar 38-0, the young and enterprising side from Ajegunle, Eco II Rugby Club, beat Royal Stallions of Ilorin 13-6 in Division II game.
