Aighwei and Nwabuoku combines to destroy Tewo Queens

It took Okon's charges 29 minutes to break the deadlock, though, attacker Aighwei turning home a Gloria Ofeugbu's cross to steer the visitors into the lead.

The floodgates soon opened following that strike, Aighwei meeting a deflected delivery from Evelyn to double the advantage with her second in the 45th minute.

Aighwei completed her hat-trick from the edge of the area after 62 minutes before Onyinechi Ohadugha latched on to a superb ball from the the inspirational Evelyn to slot home the fourth right on 69th minute.

Coach Okon made two changes in the second half, with experienced winger Stella Mbachu among those to be thrown into the fray.

Big striker Reuben Charity completed the rout two minutes from the end of normal time.
