FIVE Of The Biggest Talking Points Of The 2015 NPFL Season

Ahead of the final match day of the 2015 NPFL season,Waploaded.com sports highlights the biggest talking points from a record breaking season.
Sunshine’s stuttering form in the second stanza:Sunshine stars seemed like the outright favorites to win the league. Come July they were top of the league and even named the best team of the first stanza. Others like Warri Wolves, Enyimba, (Hartland at a point), Wikki Tourist were merely in awe as the Owena babes attractive style of football yielded goals galore for the likes of Tunde Adeniji.

As the second stanza began, Sunshine started having cracks in the team and Kennedy Boboye’s men could finish as low as sixth on the table.

Barring the 5 – 0 win over El-Kanemi warriors (which was their biggest win at home), the Owena babes couldn’t cope with the pressure of top challenging for the top honours.
The likes of Paul Onobi, Prince Aggreh, Dayo Ojo have been solid and sometimes spectacular,Sunshine have a way of shooting themselves in the leg.
The frustration got to the fans who were unruly in match day 35 in the game against Bayelsa United which led to a stadium ban on the club.


What happened to Kano Pillars?:Kano Pillars won three consecutive NPFL titles between 2012 and 2014 and did so in some style.
This season has been abysmal for the former champions who dropped too many points on the road and lost at home for the first time in 200 matches this season in a 1 – 2 defeat to Nasarawa United on match day 25.


While Sunshine cannot be regarded as a traditional power house in the NPFL, KanoPillars have been building a good history for the best part of the last 20 years and have 4 titles to their name.
