Ekondo-Titi and Buea Emerge Champions of Two-day Great Tennis Tournament in Buea
The
tennis team of Ekondo-Titi of Ndian Division has won the just ended David Cup
Series tennis event in the University of Buea. The two-day tournament which
began on Saturday 11th of April saw 16 tennis outfits converge on
the tennis court of UB including Limbe, Akwaya, Isangele, Fontem, Ekondo-Titi,
Nguti, Wabane, Kumba, Mamfe, Muyuka, Eyumojock, Tiko, Tombel, Bakassi, Bangem
and Buea.
The
organiser of the tournament who doubles as the head coach of the UB Tennis
Family, Oben Nkongho Rudolf, said he was amazed with the turnout of both
players and fans. This tennis giant of the South West Region says his dream is
to take tennis to the threshold of various facets of the region. To him, tennis
is love, health, wealth and life.

In
the Ladies’ Event, only 5 teams battled for the precious trophy, Limbe, Kumba,
Mamfe, Buea and Tombel. Buea slammed Limbe by 2 sets to 1 to emerge champions
of the Great Region Tennis competition in the female category. This was the
most exciting fixture given that both teams were locked in a Fako derby. The
Davis Cup Series and “Advantage-in” tennis showdown has gone down memory lane
but not without blistering lessons: “UB and the SWR are a tennis off-shoot with
the man Oben Nkongho Rudolf.”
Of
course the deed has been done with utterances made like the preceding. However,
the upcoming All Varsity Games in the Yaounde 1 University this May will be a
veritable testing ground for ambitions.
