South West Rugby League: Ogar voted MVP, as Cowrie RFC defend title

Star boy of Nigeria rugby, Christian Ogar, was at the weekend voted as the Most Valuable Player and Highest Point Scorer of the South West Rugby League sponsored by CMB Building and Investment Company at the final day of the league which was held at the main bowl of the National Stadium, Lagos.
The national team player, who plies his trade with Cowrie RFC of Lagos, was consistent all through the season as he masterminded his team to an unbeaten run in the 2014/2015 Rugby League with 36 tries, 1 try conversion and 3 penalty conversions recording a cumulative of 193 points.
Even though Cowrie RFC won the league before the league finals with accumulated points, the final against police was crucial in their quest to defend their seven years 15’s un-beating run which was achieved with ease.
At the well-attended final league game sponsored by CMB Building and Investment Company Ltd, 3rd placed, Police RFC were awarded the fair play award despite losing to the champions, Cowrie RFC 22-0 in a match which could be described as fast and furious as both teams came out for the maximum points.
In the game which was characterised with many runs, pin point tackles and incisive passes, Sammy Ekpo bagged 2 tries while Dipo Olawale, Christian Ogar registered 1 try each and a conversion by Tunji Oduntan was all that was needed by Cowrie RFC to show their superiority against a much physical Police RFC side.
Meanwhile, in the first game of the day, spectators and invited guests were treated to a display of good game of rugby with both teams putting up a classy display, but the young and less experienced Royal Stallions of Ilorin side lost to Racing RFC 50-0, Racing RFC now claims the second spot on the league table and also a slot in the national playoff as the runners up of the South West Rugby Union League.
Mr Kelechukwu Mbagwu the MD/CEO of the league sponsor CMB Building and Ind. Co. Ltd, and the Vice President/Technical Director of Nigeria Rugby Football Federation, Fasimoye Olatunji, were present at the event for the award presentation.
