Having retained the African Championship trophy in a six
nation qualifier held in Nairobi Kenya that now sets them on the road for the
World Team Cup billed
for Holland in
May, Nigeria’s Wheelchair Tennis team have requested to be camped in Ibadan
where they hope to have a good preparation for action at the world stage. Nigeria’s two man team of Wasiu Yusuf and Alex
Adewale defeated their counterparts yet again to pick Africa’s sole ticket to
the final round in what is known as the Para-
athletes own version of the Davies Cup. There is the belief that Ibadan would serve the
players well given that they can camp at the Liberty Stadium Hostel and where
they could make use of facilities at the nearby Ibadan Recreation Club.
Coach Tarmena said “ Despite the fact that players of the
other countries had been out their in the world training and improving on their
technique and style, we were still able to beat them to pick Africa’s
sole ticket to the world team cup. Our win was made possible by the National
Sports Commission that gave the support which enabled us to go to Kenya and
strenuous training we put in. I must not also forget the very determination on
the par of the players to win and be in Holland.
He appealed to the NSC for more support to enable the players fight it with the
best as a means to lunch the country’s game into the elite league of nations.
