Top players are expected to join the hunt for points, honour, and prizes at the fourth Janet Adowei Memorial Scrabble Classics scheduled for Lagos from 25 to 26 of this month.

Preparations have begun for the two-day event which has now evolved into a national championship.

Categories to be competed for 18 rounds of games are the Opens, the Intermediate, and the Masters.

Ebikeme Adowei who instituted the tournament in 2020 in honour of his mother said it’s his own way of sustaining interest, discovering talents, and creating competition for Scrabble in the country.

It would be recalled that George Ezinore won the last edition held last year in Lagos.

Mavlon FC are currently in Spain on a training tour where both the players and officials of the club have been exposed to world -class football education under the tutelage of Juan Manuel Pavon Dominquez, a renowed Spanish youth coach and Juan Maria Cruz Arias, the highly experienced goalkeeper coach from Man City group.

The modest Nigerian clubside defeated Villaviciosa 2-0 in a friendly game played last week and it is expected that the game against Villarreal will be tougher judging by the pedigree of the club according to what Cletus told Totori News in an exclusive chat.

“It is a great privilege for Mavlon Fc to be in Europe on a training tour and I sincerely thank the management of club. Our game against Villarreal will be tough, tougher than Villaviciosa, I think,” Cletus said.

“Villarreal is a very strong club, with rich football tradition and philosophy. So, we know that the game will not be easy, but we will give our best on the pitch to get a favourable result.

He noted that despite the change of weather in Europe, him and his teammates have adapted strongly to the atmosphere and he hopes that Mavlon will give a good account of themselves,” he concluded.
