A dominant performance in the second half saw chances converted with a hat-trick from Lase Adeye, a brace from Obi Charles and a goal in the closing minutes from Emmanuel Isaac to hand the team a 6-2 win.

Michael Omotosho scored the first goal in the opening minutes of the game giving Ravens the lead. Man of the match Obi Charles lead the scoring with 4 goals, Lase Adeye and Emmanuel Isaac both bagged hat-tricks and 2 goals from Chinde Sunday wrapped up the game with a final score of 13 – 0.

The boys almost dropped points again a second time in an intense away game against Future Bright. The score line was 3-3 in the closing minutes of the game when a well worked team attack initiated from defense produced magic in the 90th minute to give Ravens a match winning goal ending the game 3-4.
On match day 13, Ravens suffered their first and only defeat of the entire campaign which put an end to a 12 game unbeaten run. One hand on the league trophy already, the team quickly got over the defeat and were back to winning ways. By match day 15, Ravens had the other hand on the trophy and were crowned league champions.
