The maiden edition of the Widikum Solidarity Tournament has turned out to be one of the most unifying events in the recent history of the town. This one month long tournament which was organised by Hon. Enwe Francis, MP for Momo West and Tayo Denise, the Lord Mayor of Widikum rounded up triumphantly on Saturday September 2, 2017 in a heavily attended final.

The Widikum Solidarity Tournament assembled 13 Football teams divided into two pools and six female Hand Ball teams. The Female Hand Ball final was a hotly contested confrontation between Boffe United Hand Ball Club and Tikom Hand Ball Club. Boffe United emerged victorious with a slight 6-4 win over an equally good Tikom Hand Ball Club.
Meantime, Cutting FC and Maya FC locked horns in the final of the Men’s Foot Ball category. In the hotly contested encounter that ensued, the winning team only emerged after post match penalties. Maya FC’s narrow 4-3 win over a no nonsense Cutting FC in post match penalty shot out made them the maiden winners of the Widikum Solidarity Tournament.

Hon. Enwe Francis contentedly summed up the event in the following words; “It has been a wonderful period in the Widikum Sub Division and I have sailed through thanks to the collaboration between me and the Lord Mayor. The aim was to make sure that youths of Widikum are kept in check and we have succeeded. The ambiance you see here today in Widikum has lasted for over a month. We are through with playing and the next business is that of school resumption on Monday September 4th. If you see the number of children that turned out here today you should have seen the excitement on their faces when I announced that school was going to start on Monday. I feel proud because Widikum cannot be left behind in Education. We know Cameroon has problems but the education of children cannot be compromised.
