Aba clash...Ajilete Giants seeks vengeance from Elephants

After a disappointing share of spoils with the bottom-placed Nembe City, Crown Football Club of Ogbomoso has shrugged-off the agonizing experience to move on with hope and strength at confronting  Enyimba of Aba in the week 10 of the Glo Nigeria Premier League fixture on Wednesday.


Crown's hopes and aspirations are not defeated with the last weekend result at home which ended 1-1 against Nembe.

 The game was an indication that anything can happen in the game of football.

The club's shot-stopper Raji Lateef said he's going to Aba with his mind made up not to see anything behind him at the Enyimba International Stadium.

Raji said if Nembe who's yet to find her feat in the league could marshall out a point in the full glare of the Ibadan spectators and fans then it's my time to shine on the road beginning from this mid-week match.

Meanwhile, club gaffer Lawrence Akpokona has apologized to the teeming fans of the club on the unimpressive outing that there are better days to remedy the situation

He said that football is a funny game, Akpokona while calming the fray nerves of the supporters maintained that the hopes and aspirations attached to his job is still much intact and that he's not ready to jettison it for anything.

“Enyimba is a tough side but the league is still much open for any serious team to pick points anywhere,” Akpokona submitted through club's media representative Oyeleye Oyekunle.

The Ajilete Giants dropped to 6th position having shared spoils with Nembe City on Sunday with 13 points from 9 matches.
