The Wikki Tourists Herald
Match19 Jan 2036
Wikki Tourists taken apart
1‑5 to Kwara United, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Player ratings21 Jan 2036
Ahmad Lamido in the eights
A performance of 8.00 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
