The excitement that follows women football in the country
returned last weekend as five centres out of the six saw the best of the game.
In Oleh, Delta State where the star match of the week was played, both Delta Queens
and Rivers Angels lived up to their billings as it took the visitors 8 minutes
to open scoring through Ugo Njoku, before the guest replied at the dot of 45
minutes through Ngozi Okobi.
This weekend, the Rivers Angels will be at home to ruthless Sunshine
Queens. The Mimiko girls had no mercy on Nasarawa Amazons last weekend when
they bashed them by three goals to one.
The Amazons from Lafia would this weekend trade tackles with
Adamawa Queens who could not play their home match last weekend because of
security challenges in the North Eastern part of the country. However, this
weekend, they are expected to test their might against an aggrieved team that
is still imaging what befell them in Akure last weekend.
Pelican Stars would also test their grit at home against
Osun Babes. The Aregbe Babes who proved bookmakers wrong last weekend when they
outscored the star studded Ibom Angels by two goals to one, with Ganiyat
Adeleke of Osun Babes scoring the first goal in the Nigeria Women Premier
League.
Confluence Queens would settle scores with the newly
rejuvenated Ineeh Queens, while FC Taraba Queens would be at home for Delta
Queens.
Ibom Angels would try to redeem their pride as they play host to
Bayelsa Queens who struggled all through their week 1 match against Confluence
Queens in Omoku last weekend. Ibom
Angels who boast of tested players like Precious Dede, Mfon Bassey, Vera Idoko
among others, would not spare the Queens from Yenegoa.
The full week 2 fixtures:
Nasarawa Amazons vs Adamawa Queens
FC Taraba Queens vs Delta Queens
Confluence Queens vs Edo Queens
Ibom Angels vs Bayelsa Queens
Pelican Stars vs Osun Babes
Rivers Angels vs Sunshine Queens
