ELITE ONE Championship: PWD triumph in local derby against YOSA in Bamenda

PWD Social Club of Bamenda Wednesday November 6 comfortably defended herself in front of a mixed home crowd against city rivals YOSA FC at the Yong Sports Academy Stadium in Nkwen Bamenda during one of Day five fixtures of the Elite One professional championship.

Ade Mienolf’s talismanic opener at the 50^th was sufficient to clinch the day’s three points for Coach David Pagou’s team. It was a conclusion of several challenges mounted against YOSA’s defense including goalie Fuh Blaise who literally had an off day despite a clean sheet performance against Feutcheu FC of Banjoun during day four fixtures.

“The players were reminded that they lost their last match and they had to win against YOSA which they actually won.” Coach David Pagou told the press

YOSA’s offensive attack did all possible to slow down PWD’s defensive momentum but failed.  PWD convincingly reached the 90th minute line with a 1-0 lead ending the game with a win.

The win according to coach Nkabyo was merited. “We congratulate PWD, they played a good game and we will prepare for the next game. We did all we could but we had a good team against us and they won. We just have to play our next match well so that we can bounce back after our defeat in the hands of PWD Bamenda.” He said

Coach Nkabyo’s boys offered some resistance especially with the exploitation of all three substitutions available but could not get even a draw against PWD.

PWD will be travelling to Garoua to face Coton Sport; a fixture Coach Pagou already sees as difficult. “Our next match is in Garoua against Cotton Sport of Garoua. It is going to be a difficult game but a point will be like a win for us.”

YOSA will be at home to welcome UMS of Loum.

The following results were recorded nationwide 

UMS 1-0 Stade Renard 

Panthere 0-0 Bamboutos 

Union 2-1 Avion

Apejes 3-3 Dragon 

AS Fortuna 1-2 Eding 

Feutcheu 2-1 Fovu

Two fixtures will be played this Thursday
