Rivers Angels Eager To Retain NWFL Title

Head Coach of Nigeria Women Football league, NWFL, side, Rivers Angels FC, Edwin Okon has reiterated their desire to retain the NWFL title this season.
The reigning NWFL champions finished second behind Bayelsa Queens in Group A in the regular season and will be jostling for the title alongside three other teams when the Super four starts in Benin on September 11, 2017.
Already, bookmakers have ruled out the Port Harcourt side for the title following what they called unconvincing performance from the Edwin Okon tutored side during the regular season.
Rivers Angels played a total of 13 matches, drawing four, losing two and picking a total of 7 victories with one of those on the road.
The former Super Falcons gaffer while reiterating his side’s willingness to retain the NWFL title commended the Aisha Falode led board for ensuring the regular season went down well.
“I must commend the current NWFL board for a job well done,” Okon began.
“Not only did we have a hitch free season, for the first time in a long while, we didn’t record any walkover.
“And from what I saw in Lagos during the Super draws, I must say the league has really improved,” he added.
As for the Super Four which is expected to kickoff on September 11-16 in Benin, Okon said the trio of Bayelsa Queens, Nasarawa Amazons and Delta Queen are familiar foes to his side.
“We’ve been working very hard for the Super Four, training everyday to ensure we keep our fitness,” said Okon.
