It was a rainy but entertaining day on the final day of the 2018 Lagos State Secondary School Hockey Championship at the Campos Mini Stadium, Lagos Island.

The Secondary School Hockey Championship was put together by the Lagos State government for all secondary schools in the state, public and private.

The competition featured 14 different schools in each category, with a maximum of 16 players apiece.

The competition, which was well organised and attended aims to serve as a veritable platform to discover new talents for the state’s hockey teams.
