Oyetayo dethrones Adeniyi, as Lagos table tennis league enters week four

IT was the end of the road for week two champion, Kazeem Adeniyi, who was made to swallow his pre-game boast of retaining the lead by Sola Oyetayo in week three of the Lagos table tennis league.In the contest watched by a large crowd of table tennis enthusiasts, Oyetayo won the first game, but Adeniyi rallied to level up. This brought out the best in Oyetayo, who won two games consecutively to take the encounter at 3-1.A disappointed Adeniyi said he was not happy losing the title and blamed his defeat to loss of concentration. 'From the preliminary I knew it was not going to be easy and I ensured I gave my best. This helped me to the final but I lost focus in the final after coming from a set down to level.'I want to admit that it has been tough and every player has been putting in his best with a new champion emerging every week,' Adeniyi said.In the women's singles, Fatimo Bello, who has been a finalist since the competition began, was also unlucky in week three as she narrowly lost to Tolu Durosimi-Etti.An unfortunate Bello had been tipped to win the championship in week three and she never hid her intention from the start of the final against ageing Durosimi-Etti. She won the first two matches, but she failed to round up the match as her opponent grew in confidence to nail her at 3-2.
