Heartland Queens’ winger, Emmanuella James has enthused that her side will go for a double against neighbours and visitors, Abia Angels in Wednesday’s NWFL Premiership match day 11 Oriental derby at the Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri.

James said her side verily appreciate the complexities and intricacies of derbies and will not treat the neighbours nor the points in the matchup with kid’s gloves.
“I strongly believe we will still defeat them again, we defeated them right there at their backyard in Aba, and we will do it again come Wednesday.
“The momentum is quite high same as team’s mood and spirit, we have upped our work schedule and everyone is roaring to go aimed at ensuring nothing goes amiss in the derby game.
