A holiday football tournament sponsored
by a 25-year old youth from the BONAVADA area in Buea, south west Cameroon,
rounded up in grand style last Sunday. One Love FC thrashed Big Brothers FC 5-2
to lift the blue ribbon.
A heavily-attended ceremony to
officially close the championship took place at the community field in Upper
Bokova, the village of ex-Prime Minister, now Senator Peter Mafany Musonge.

The tournament was worth over FCFA 500,
000 and was aimed at not only unravelling local footballing talents but also gainfully occupied the youths during the just-ended long summer holidays.
The donor, Charles Mafany, said he was
grateful that the football festival successfully unfolded to its logical end.
He thanked the youths and entire population of BONAVADA for their support and
promised to do more next year.
Not only were prizes dished out to
meritorious players and team officials, school materials as well as
scholarships were equally given out to some students and pupils in the area.
Next year’s edition is expected in June
or July.
13 villages, it should be noted, constitute the BONAVADA
area and they include; Upper Bokova ( Senator Musonge’s village), Bokulu, Bokwai
(Village of CDC GM) Bonganjo, Boteva, Bova I, Bova II, Bwiteva, Bwitingi,
Ewonda, Mwangai and Upper Bolifamba.
