One of the tournament's matches came in January 1954, when the Civil Cantonment (C.C.) select team from Habbaniya defeated Al-Sikak Al-Hadeed 2–1 at Al-Kashafa Stadium with goals from Ammo Baba and Youra Eshaya.[5]
The C.C. team then went on to face Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya Al-Malakiya the following month at the same stadium. Ammo Baba gave C.C. the lead after four minutes before Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya Al-Malakiya scored the next three goals through Rahoomi Jassim (ninth minute), Rashid Jedaya and Taha (20th minute). Jamil Jowahar brought a goal back for C.C. before Ammo Baba scored again in the 75th minute and then made it a hat-trick moments later to win the match 4–3 for C.C.[6][7]
