Some people might have missed the actions, dramas, news and intrigues that characterize the weekend in Gombe, EPL and La Liga.
If you are one of those that missed the weekend actions, then we will give you a summary of some of the actions that took place within and outside Gombe in the world of sports.
GOMBE BULLS
Gombe Bulls made the first headline with their departure to Tunisia as one of the contingents in the FIBA Africa Championship which kicks off today. Their departure was characterized by in-house quarrel as some sources revealed that the state government approved N27million and the money was shared among the sports Commission’s cabals and the board of the team. Meanwhile, the sharing strategy followed did not go down well. Other players were said to have received N300,000 while home based players received N100,000. The sports commission must find a way to settle this issue so that it would not affect their performance in Tunis.
