A brace from Joshua Uge, Robert Mizo as well as goals from Douye Golden and experience midfielder Bina Tombiri ensured that team yellow smiled home with the trophy.

The tournament which was organised by Cabo Construction Limited, the company that rehabilitated the Samson Siasia Stadium Yenagoa had Bayelsa United players divided into three with Dreams Boys FA making four teams.

The tournament came days after the postponement of the Nigeria National League NNL super four in Yenagoa due to the ravaging flood that has displaced homes in the state.

Assessing the level of progress made in the tournament, Technical Adviser of Bayelsa United, Diepreye Teibowei said the the tournament became imperative due to the postponement of the NNL Super Four and the devastating flood that has displaced homes in the state.

He noted that the tournament has brought a healthy competition among the players with some players showing great promises ahead of the Nigeria Professional Football League NPFL season.

Chairman of Bayelsa United Mr. Ebiki Timitimi  noted that he was overwhelmed by Cabo's show of love for Bayelsa United, pointing out that the showpiece was timely as a result of the psychological effect the flood has brought among  Bayelsans.

Mr. Timitimi pointed out that the Cabo Pre season tournament has shown that no one can be guaranteed first team shirt in Bayelsa United, describing the competition as a welcome development.

He commended the sports facility construction giants for providing palliatives to Bayelsans to ameliorate the sufferings of people in this trying moment in the State.

Also, Chief Executive Officer Cabo Construction Limited Mr Taiwo Babalola represented by Engr. Olutoye Adeboye, asserted that the essence of the tournament was to bring people together, prepare for the new season as well as provide sports  entertainment to football lovers in the state.

He also promised an improved Cabo pre season tournament next year with NPFL sides involved in the competition and described the  tournament as successful.

The highpoint of the tournament was the presentation of palliatives to over two hundred supporters of Bayelsa United donated by Cabo construction company.

The People of Umuyota Autonomous Community in Umuawa-Alaocha, Ohuhu, Umuahia North LGA has reacted to a press release purportedly signed by one imposter named Chikamara Metuh. In a press release signed by Mr. Bright Udeh the Youth President of the Umuokarafor Community, the community where both Mr. Adimchinobi Abraham and High Chief Sonny Uwakwe Nlewedim hails from has advised  members of the public to disregard the so-called press release trying to present the emergence of Chief Sonny Nlewedim as the Eze-Elect of Umuyota Autonomous Community in dispute.
