t was all encomiums, appreciations, and showering of praises poured on the Director of Press And Public Affairs To The Governor of Plateau State, Dr. Gyang Bere, by both the residence and visitors for the Christmas celebration in both Vwang District and environs when SSI Media went round the community on the people’s thoughts as it concerns the last quarter final match slated for today. Mrs Elizabeth Chungwom, a petty trader, says: “I want to thank the people that are doing this football thing. Since they start this football here in this place, I now sell my goods here instead of my shop because I make more money here than my shop. And am very happy that my in-laws that came home from Abuja for Christmas are enjoying the football too. They argue every night at home. It give me joy no be small.”Mr. John Okenwa on his part could not stop commending the sponsor of this tournament. In his words: “I came in last week from the East to see my friend since last week to buy Irish potatoes and take home to sell, but this football competition has tied me down. I won’t go back to my base until after the final. I am enjoying my Christmas here in Vwang. And they told me the sponsor is a young man, I will want to see him. I came here about 6 years ago and this place has never been so lively and entertaining like this. This competition has made this place bubble. We always look forward to matches. They said the match of tomorrow is between two Vwang teams. I can’t wait. It will be interesting”.Ezekiel Pam, whose son is one of the players in this competition says: “Oga Sammy, this competition has forced me to buy more food and kill more chickens for Christmas because the friends of my son, about 4 of them don’t want to return back to Jos and they will be with us till after the final. It’s a very happy thing for me though that my son is at home for Christmas. If it’s not because of the competition, he would have travelled to Jos for Christmas and new year. “Meanwhile, the last quarter final match will be played today, as two teams from the same community, Vwang Central fc and Vwang United fc will slug it out for a place in the semi final. The last quarter final match between Vwang Central fc vs Vwang United fc will be played by 4pm today at the Vwang Central football field.
