Bose Odusanya continues her dominance in the women’s singles of the annual Molade Okoya-Thomas Table Tennis Cup just as Muiz Adegoke retained men’s singles title at the grand finale played on Wednesday December 20 at Teslim Balogun Stadium.
Odusanya who has been winning the title since 2015 won her ninth consecutive title after beating Anu Anjuwon 4-0 in the women’s singles finals.
Also Adegoke who won his maiden title in 2022 was at his best against Emmanuel Augustine with a comprehensive 4-0 (12-10, 11-7, 13-11, 11-3) to hold on to the title.
An elated Adegoke described the win as compensation for missing the 2023 World Youth Championship held in Slovenia. “I am so happy that I have something to show for my efforts this year especially after missing the WYC and I hope I can continue like this in the next tournament,” the national junior champion said.
For Deji Okoya-Thomas lauded the players for their display while promising a glamorous edition next year.
“We hope to make the tournament bigger next year by setting up an LOC that will be in charge of the whole event and we hope to make it more colorful,” Okoya-Thomas said.
