For the 2022 season, they competed in two age groups, U12 and U13.
Both teams competed in the premier league divisions of their age groups.
The U12s and U13s finished sixth and fifth respectively.
“These results are not a true reflection of the potential of both teams, but due to some unexpected challenges they failed to produce results fitting their potential,” said the head coach for both teams, Solomon Bawa.
