NSF Inter Club Challenge: Defending champions, Pyramid SC, fails to make semis

Posted : 17 April 2025

The defending champions of the Nigeria Scrabble Federation Inter Club Challenge, Pyramid SC of Lagos, have seen their dream and goal of finishing on the medal podium at the 2025 edition of the competition go up in flames.


Pyramid SC, one of the biggest and most dominant forces in club scrabble in Nigeria, failed to advance past the gruelling group stage of the ongoing finals in the ancient city of Benin, Edo State, in the South-South region of Nigeria.


They finished third in Group B, which was dominated by newcomers Gateway SC, a team stacked with powerful and talented players such as Oluwatimilehin Doko, Abdulmumin Jimoh, Cyril Umebiye, David Ojih, and Hakeem Ogundokun.


Central Scrabble Club A of Abuja, under the leadership of Francis Molokwu, finished second and advanced to the last four, alongside the Continental Champions, Gateway SC, who were inspired by Oluwatimilehin Doko. PHC Club from Rivers State finished last in Group B.


One of the finest scrabble players in the blue and white colours of Pyramid SC, John Aiyedun, told your authoritative and award-winning news channel, FIRST ZEALMEDIACAST BLOG, that they lost to two teams that were dominant on the day.


“We will be back and better next season, no excuses. Sometimes you win some and lose some. We will work on our weaknesses to come back better, bigger, and stronger next year.”


Former NSF Green Jacket holder Dipo Akanbi, who is the captain of Pyramid SC, shared a similar sentiment with John Aiyedun, saying, "It’s not possible to win all the time."


“It was a bad day in the office for us. Scrabble in Nigeria is very competitive, so any team or player can be beaten, no matter how good you are.”


Ayo Akinfemisoye, Femi Simpson, and Bright Uzu are the other standout players of Pyramid SC in Benin City for the NSF Inter Club finals.


PHC Club, CSCA B, and Pyramid SC are the teams that failed to reach the semifinals.
