PWD, Yosa Handed Tough 1/16 Final Opponents

PPWD of Bamenda, Yong Sport Academy and Foncha Street FC, the three remaining teams from the Northwest Region in the Cup of Cameroon (CC) now know the obstacles they need to overcome to reach the 8^th finals following the draws conducted in Yaoundé today.

Yong Sport Academy picked arguably the toughest opponent in the draw when the landed serial contenders, Coton Sport of Garoua, six time winners of the cup in the last 32 round.  Yosa, one time winner (2013) overcome AS Lausanne of Yaounde  4-0 this afternoon to book a clash against the cotton waivers of Benou, in what will be Ndoumbe Bosso’s  first reunion against his former club since leaving Bamenda in acrimonious circumstances.

As if this was not enough, PWD, another Bamenda outfit drew the current cup holders, Eding Sport of Lekie in the 16^th finals as well. After disposing of Kohi Maroua, 5-1 in the round of 64, the Abakwa Boys still have their hands full with the relegation playoff that is ongoing in Limbe. A victory for a PWD that is reluctant to fully engage the cup run due to its relegation load could open an easy path to the finals.

Meanwhile regional second division side, Foncha Street FC will challenge Renaissance of Ngoumou as a reward for eliminating Aigle of Dschang in the 32^nd finals.

The date for the next round is yet to be determined.
