With
barely one week to the kickoff of this season’s re-scheduled football action in
the Nigeria National League slated for May 16, Supreme Court FC of Abuja have
confirmed their readiness to stage a stiff challenge against would be opponents
in the 2014/15 league season with a 3-1 thrashing of City Strikers.
The
Junior team of the same Abuja-based City Strikers had two days ago beaten Nigeria’s
Super Falcons 3-2 in a friendly match organized to test the readiness of the
country’s most senior female side ahead of their Olympic qualifier clash with
Mali.
A
total of four goals scored while the encounter between the senior team of City
Strikers and Supreme Court FC lasted inside Area 3 pitch in the Nation’s
capital were registered in the second half after the first half ended with no
goal from either side.
Two
goals from petit striker Peter Michael who has already netted over 10 goals in
several pre-season matches and one from midfielder Emmanuel Gbemi gifted Apex
Boys victory over City Rivals who pulled only one back.
Supreme
Court Technical Adviser Fatai Osho who spoke shortly after the encounter
declared “We are good to go for the season barring any unforeseen circumstance.
Even if you have the team that has won the world cup, there is still room for
improvement.
“We
are not oblivion of the fact that we will continue to improve on our performance.
Last season was tough for us but we believe that we could go steps further to
get to where we didn’t get to. Nothing is impossible. My players have remained
positive on what we intend to achieve once the season resume."
For
the Proprietor of City Strikers, Mr Akin Adejumo “We have learnt football
lessons from Our Opponents today. Yes, our feeder team won Super Falcons but
our senior team could not surmount the challenge from Supreme Court FC. We will
continue to expose them to much tougher opposition.”
