After staying in football purgatory for 14 long years (since 2005) the emblematic football club of the NW region has finally ascended to the Elite I Chamionship.

The “Abakwa Boys” have picked an early qualification ticket to division one after trouncing AS Etoa Meki of Yaounde 3-0 in Bamenda on Tuesday.  It was match-day 27 of the 30-match championship.

            With just three playing days to the end of the Elite II championship, PWD are topping the league table with 54 points, three points clear of runners-up, Avion with 51 points. Third placed Tonnerre Yaounde have 46 points, while legendary Canon Yaounde are fourth with 45 points.

            PWD Bamenda have ascended to Elite I after 14 years in the cold. They were relegated to division two in 2005.
