HOS Cup: Mighty Sparrows Berth In Semi Final …Beat Min Of Health 2-0

The Ministry of Information and Communications football team, Mighty Sparrows yesterday at the Sharks FC Stadium qualified for the Semi Final stage of the ongoing Rivers State Civil Service football competition, otherwise known as Head of Service, HOS,Cup.

The Sparrows ended the ambitions of their Ministry of Health counterparts, 2-0 in one of the quarter-final matches.

A goal, either side of the two halves by skipper, Honour Sirawoo and Francis Edookor was enough to seal victory for the last years finalists in keenly contested encounter.

Ministry of Health, which really gave a good account of themselves came into the game apparently determined to frustrate the Mighty Sparrows and cause an upset.

While the Sparrows threw everything into attack, they seized the initiative in midfield, but were denied progress by the Iminabo Michael and Olisa-Emeka led defence.

With the victory, the Sparrows will now face the winners of the encounter between Ministry of Justice and Government House tomorrow.

Other semi finalists include, Ministry of Special Duties and Ministry of Education, which won their quarter finals matches 1-0, respectively on Monday.

Both sides will clash in the first semi final match next Monday.
