In this thrillingly unpredictable 2018 HiFL® season, we are yet to know the identity of the inaugural winners of the league. But of one thing we can be certain: it won’t be the UI Pioneers.

On the day Ebuka David, UAM Tillers’ sharp shooter electrified the competition with his trio of goals, UI Pioneers produced a hat trick of an altogether less elevated kind.

For the first time in history, a football team from the University of Ibadan has been badly beaten, bruised, savaged and demoralized by their counterparts from the Obafemi Awolowo University.

Up North, it was gut wrenching heartbreak for the UNILORIN Warriors after being edged out by ABU Nobles on penalties. Roared on by the vociferous home fans in a packed ABU Gymnasium Complex, the Nobles raced into the lead on the day after a well taken goal by Ibrahim Musa to even the scores on aggregates. Despite the valiant efforts of the Warriors, they held on before eventually displaying nerves of steel to triumph 5-4 on penalties.

In the other matches, DELSU Titans shocked pre-tournament favourites and perennial NUGA champions UNIPORT Sharks 2-1 in a hard fought game at the Kwale Township Stadium to qualify on away goals rules as a result of their two priceless away goals from the first leg.

In the final match of the round, UAM Tillers demolished the hapless Desert Warriors of UNIMAID 3-0 to ease to book a clash with UNIJOS Highlanders who had qualified earlier via a walk over after the ATBU Bravehearts were a no show for their second leg match replay.

Concluding the quarter finalists of the 2018 HiFL season is the UNICAL Malabites who qualified after the UNN Lions forfeited their hotly contested second leg replay after ending the match 1-1 on aggregate.

Action returns on Wednesday, September 5, 2018 across four centers for the first leg clashes of the quarter finals in the league and as always it promises to be as exciting as ever.

HiFL® is approved by the Nigerian University Games Association (NUGA) and endorsed by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). The league is overseen by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the Committee of Vice-Chancellors (CVC). The winner of this HIFL® 2018 season will represent Nigeria at the 2019 International University Sports Federation games in Naples, Italy.

I like the concept of inculcating values like this in football.

Talents should be discovered also in schools and not just in football alone.

Because sometimes, it's not the Bsc or Msc that will put food on the table.

Lol. I can imagine. Na blessing in disguise na.

Am using this opportunity to tell the people who have patients in St Mary Catholics hospital located in Owode Academy ,Ibadan or who having intention of taking their patient to that hospital don't ever dare to do that they are no more competent to handle any health case..what I say is either you take it or leave it u can test their ability ST MARY CATHOLICS ACADEMY, IBADAN nothing for them again
Can u imagine a brother was suffering from so called typhoid and the Doctor of so stupid hospital St Mary Catholics said he would undergone surgery ..I was so surprised when the surgery wasn't successful due the non chalant attitude and their incompetence surgeon the reader shouldn't say the writer doesn't have faith in God but for clarification after the surgery they now tell us that my brother need the oxygen after 3 hours surgery
My question is this as their profession are they not supposed to know that the oxygen should be ready for the operation be it done? My brother rest in perfect peace end..... Sources
