Non-Academic Staff Retain EKSPOLY Staff Games Trophy After Dramatic Penalty Shootout

*

It was fireworks and passion at Ekiti State Polytechnic, Isan Ekiti, on Tuesday, 9th September, 2025, as the Academic and Non-Academic Staff renewed their rivalry in the grand finale of the 2025 Staff Games. The fierce contest ended 1-1 in regulation time but was settled 5-4 on penalties in favour of the Non-Academic Staff, who successfully defended their title.

The defending champions drew first blood early in the game when Owolabi Adebesin Abayomi fired home a clinical strike that left the Academic Staff goalkeeper stranded. Their joy, however, was short-lived as Computer Science lecturer, Mr. Obasade Emmanuel Temitope, responded in style with a stunning free-kick to level the scoreline before halftime.

The second half was fiercely contested, with both sides battling hard but unable to find the winner. Extra time only heightened the suspense, forcing the teams into a penalty decider. With the Polytechnic community watching in anticipation, the Non-Academic Staff held their nerve to edge their rivals 5-4 from the spot, successfully defending their crown.

The Polytechnic Mini Pitch was filled to capacity, with staff and students cheering passionately for their teams. Dignitaries including the Rector, Dr. Sunday Osinkolu Ajeigbe, the Deputy Rector, the Bursar, Deputy Registrar, and Deans of Faculties graced the occasion, adding glamour to the event.

With the victory, the Non-Academic Staff once again etched their names in EKSPOLY sporting history, proving their resilience and determination on the field of play.
