Destiny Da-Silva, Deji Oguntoye, Nimota Omope and Peter Mgbeahuru were among the big winners as the 2022 Gino Lagos Country Club Tennis came to an exciting end at the weekend.

In the Men’s A, Oguntoye edged Victor Ogbeide 6-7, 6-4, 2-2 (rtd) as Deji Oshikoya defeated Sunny Igboanugo for the Men’s B title.

In the women’s singles, Omope defeated Eniola Dele-Oshiga while Mgbeahuru fend off the challenge of Samuel Ojo to clinch the Veterans’ version.

 Idemudia paired his junior sibling Ehi to win the Men’s doubles crown by defeating Jide Feso and Charles Aghadiuno just as Omope partners Ngufan Ujoh to rule the women’s doubles.

Brand Manager Gino, Foluke Femisanda expressed delight at the tournament promising that GB Foods, the parent company of Gino, is committed to enhance friendship and promote unity through sponsorship of the programme.

Tennis Section Chairman, Babatunde Fashanu (SAN) thanked the sponsors for their commitment.
