Women: Rivers Angels seek 7th title

Six-time women’s Federation Cup champions, Rivers Angels face an uphill task today in the final of this year’s competition as they confront their southern neighbours, Bayelsa Queens in Lagos.

The match holds also at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos from 1pm ahead of the men’s final between Nasarawa United and FC IfeanyiUbah.

Rivers Angels had a tough road to the final overcoming strong opponents and they were also responsible for ousting defending champions Sunshine Queens in the quarter-final.

The Port Harcourt ladies who were knocked out of the competition by Confluence Queens in the quarter-final stage last season started their quest for the trophy from the round of 32 when they defeated FC Robo Queens in Benin 3-2.

Rivers Angels then walked over Capital City Doves and then silenced defending champions Sunshine Queens 2-1 in the quarter-finals.

Osinachi Ohale’s set piece goal against Nasarawa Amazons helped the Rivers ladies to book a showdown with last year’s finalists, Bayelsa Queens, which pipped Delta Queens

4-3 via penalties after a 1-1 draw in regulation time.

Rivers Angels, under the tutelage of former Super Falcons coach, Edwin Okon, have never lost in any cup final till date.
