Two of David Okoromi’s four goals came in the final against Gombe United and he emerged the highest goal scorer

Nasiru Toheeb put up a man-of-the-match performance against Kwara United in the semi-final and stopped two penalties during the shoot out to help the Saraki Boys book a place in the final.
