Okon  Attributes  Rivers Angels’ Performance To Dedication, Hardwork

Head Coach of Rivers Angels Football Club of Port Harcourt, Edwin Okon, has attributed his side’s recent form in the 2020/2021 Nigeria Women Football league (NWFL) Premiership season to dedication and hardwork.
The reigning NWFL champions who are yet to taste defeat in this season’s campaign have been without their first choice central defenders, AmaechiOjini and Margaret Etim in three straight games.
In spite of this, the Jewel Of Rivers have recorded 2 away victories and 2 home win, a feat Okon described as impeccable.
“The League has been a very strong one so far, but I’m happy with how things are going,” began the former Super Falcons coach.
“I thank God for how it’s been from week one to the last week in Port  Harcourt.
“The dedication and hard work from players always lead to success and discipline as well.
“I have quality players who are always ready to step in when the need arises.
“You can see that I have been without my two centrals but it hasn’t in any way affected our game because those called upon have been doing the job,” Okon added.
Rivers Angels FC is now warming up to  visit Dreamstars Ladies FC in one of the Week 9 fixtures of the 2020/2021 NWFL  season scheduled to hold in Lagos State,  at the Agege Township Stadium, Agege
Dreamstars Ladies  have not been too visible since the inception of the premiership this season, but we still have to prepare to meet them. Things might change,” he said.
“There are no pushovers in women’s football today as far as I’m concerned,” Okon said.
Rivers Angels are 2nd on the log with 20 points while Dreamstars Ladies FC  are currently at the bottom with 3 points from 8 matches played so far.
It would be recalled that the. Jewels of  Rivers defeated their opponent Royal    Queens 3-0 in the week 8 fixtures played at the University of Port Harcourt Football pitch  (UNIPORT), Choba.
While Dreamstars Ladies FC lost 0-5 to host, FC Robo  Queens at the Legacy pitch, National Stadium, Surulere.
