Olayiwola gave a good account of himself when he defeated his counterpart, Fayemi 4-2 to emerge the champion.<\/p>\n

Shortly after his victory, Olayiwola said the victory was well deserved but admitted that his opponent gave him a tough game throughout the match.<\/p>\n

He said the victory will spur him to perform well in the forthcoming Lagos InternationaTable Tennis Classics holding later this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinning this tournament will boost my chances when the classics stroke off later this mothn. I am using this medium to dedicate this victory to my family and fans who gave me their support throughout the competition,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In the women\u2019s singles final, Morufat Idris of Spring Fresh also defeated Tolu Durosimi Etti 4-2 to emerge the winner.<\/p>\n

Etti, who was impressed with opponent\u2019s peformance, told P.M.NEWS Sports<\/em> that lack of concentration was responsible for her defeat, adding that immediately she lost concentration in the first set of the match, she found it difficult to regain her confidence.<\/p>\n

she, however, congratulated Idris for her victory and urged the organisers to continue to promote the ping pong game at the grassroots.<\/p>\n

In the junior \u00a0 girls singles, Bose Odusanya humbled Alimat Ayinla 4-1, while Azeez Ogunlade thrashed Rilwan Akanbi 4-2 in the junior boys singles final.<\/p>\n
