However, Team Kaduna ended the day with a brilliant performance, claiming two gold and one silver medal. Their achievements were in Beach Volleyball Boys (Silver), Beach Volleyball Girls (Gold), and Cricket Boys (Gold).

 


The host team, Delta, who currently leads the medal table, shows no signs of slowing down.
