Executive Chairman of Edo State Sports Commission, Hon. Desmond Amadin Enabulele, has commended Edo Queens FC for their resilience in the just concluded Nigeria Women Football League NWFL Super six championship.
He stated this while addressing the players after their all-time classic, thrilling goalless game against Nasarawa Amazons.
According to him, “I want to thank you all for your determination and resilience. We have all watched the game, I commend you all for coming out strong and determined in this competition. Though we lost the trophy but you all did very well. Is a tough match, no doubt, and you all did your best.”
“Coach Aduku, we are not throwing blame on anyone, we won it last season, it is football, you can’t win all, so let’s take it in good faith. We would all go back to our board and strategize, see what
can be done to come out with more experienced players for next season. Good game, girls.”
Recalled that Edo Queens won the Super Six last season and represented Nigeria at the CAF level.
In their last Super Six playoff
played yesterday evening, Edo Queens played a goalless draw with Nasarawa Amazons, having 8 points from five matches, and emerged third after an intensive five-day contest.
The NWFL came to an end with Bayelsa Queens emerging champions. Six NWFL giants took part in the championship, and four teams, Bayelsa Queens, Nasarawa Amazons, Edo Queens, and Remo Stars Ladies, were in contention for the title. At the end, Bayelsa Queens were crowned champions.
The Super Six was an intensive five-day battle for the six teams.
For emerging third, Edo Queens were rewarded with four million, Nasarawa Amazons, six million, and Bayelsa Queens, ten million, while the remaining teams, Rivers Angels, Remo Stars Ladies, and Naija Ratels got 1.5 million each.
Having done excellently well in the Super six, Edo Queens will be on their way to Kogi State next week to face Nasarawa Amazons in the semi-final of the President’s Federation Cup.
