BRIEF INTERVIEW WITH THE CAPTAIN OF THE MELLANBY HALL FOOTBALL TEAM

KINDLY GIVE A BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF YOURSELF

I am Akisoroju Adeoluwa, 400 level student of Teacher Education, the faculty of Education; captain of the Mellanby Hall Football team.

HOW WAS THE TRAINING FOR THE COMPETITION?
The training for the competition was demanding and people didn’t really turn out for the training, Senior men didn’t also turn up for the training and didn’t represent.

HOW WOULD YOU VIEW THE COMPETITION WITH RESPECT TO OTHER HALLS?
There wasn’t a lot of fear in our hearts, unlike others who were scared of Mellanby. About 5 or 6 Mellanby footballers are in the school’s team. However, the Independence Hall has a sizeable amount of people in the team too, so we expected tough competition there.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ABOUT THE ADMINISTRATION, WITH RESPECT RESPECT TO THE REFEREES AND WERE THERE ANY DIFFICULTIES WITH PLAYERS IN RESPECT TO INSUBORDINATION AND THE LIKES?
I would give the referees a 4 out of 10. Permit me to say they were incompetent. Actions which professional referees would normally overlook were not overlooked. As for the players, there was no instance of insubordination. The major problems we had were lateness and lack of motivation .
DESCRIBE THE FEELING THAT CAME WITH WINNING
Being a captain of the team and watching us win was a nice feeling. I was excited especially since we won Sultan bello hall, who have begun to view it as a tradition to carry the cup home, and also that we won all our matches.

WHAT ARE YOUR VISIONS AND PLANS FOR THE MELLANBY TEAM IN FUTURE? IN ADDITION, SUGGEST SOME POSSIBLE STEPS THAT CAN BE TAKEN TO IMPROVE THE TEAM.
This is my last year, and i can only hope that the ones after me carry the good work. As for ways to encourage, the hall warden has promised to take care of the sportsmen and there are incentives such as a 100% accommodation for sportsmen

WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT FOR FOOTBALLERS AND SPORTSMEN ALIKE.
Have faith and keep the work.

MHPO
