Nigeria’s foremost family and sports club, Lagos Country Club, Ikeja, has beaten Ghana’s Tesano Sports Club in an international sports friendly.
The International Inter-Club Sports Exchange held at Tesano Sports Club, Accra, Ghana, saw members of both clubs compete in swimming, squash, badminton, Table tennis, chess, darts, and draughts.
The chairman of Tesano Sports Club, Patrick Arthur, while welcoming their Nigerian friends to Accra, said the club has hosted three Nigerian clubs this year
“This year has been one of the busiest for Tesano,” he said.
“We’ve hosted clubs from Nigeria, among them Ikoyi Club 1938 and Abeokuta Sports Club. Next year, we’ll definitely come to Nigeria. And based on what I’m seeing and experiencing, I’m sure it’s to Lagos Country Club.”

Responding, the President of Lagos Country Club, Seyi Adewunmi, thanked the Tesano Sports Club management for the hosting. He also extended an invitation to Tesano to attend the 75th anniversary of the Lagos Country Club.
Harping on the essence of the friendly, Adewunmi said, “The new name for the competition is collaboration. We need to have an exchange program from time to time. Not only that, we need to work closely together to see how we can affiliate ourselves with each other. For example, our people come to Accra a lot and I’m sure your own members come to Lagos too.”
At the end of the sports meet, participants were awarded certificates and treated to a sumptuous lunch.
