Hoopers’ Head Coach, Ogor Odaudu, told newsmen on telephone that he was confident about his team’s capability to win the league which starts on February 28.
“This season, Hoopers will parade a rejuvenated team comprising quality players that will deliver laurels.
“We are set to achieve the feat we are known for, which is the season’s title.  We are thinking seriously about this and we are confident of getting it,” Odaudu said.
