The Kano rugby lads beat arch rivals, Team Kaduna, 14-7 to book their spot.

The head coach of Kano’s team, Umar Bau, described their qualification as significant.
He said they were rejoicing that they would be travelling to Delta with Team Kano Boys and Girls.
He said the results obtained in Kaduna were the output of the combined efforts of the players, technical crew and backroom staff.
Bau reassured that the team would continue to work hard to attain the required capacity to confront the task ahead at the NYG stage in September.
