AKWA STARLETS SET TO RECORD FIRST WIN OF THE SEASON AS AS-RACINE FC OF LAGOS COME TO TOWN

.

As the Nigeria National League enters Match Day Four this weekend, Akwa Starlets FC are poised to register their first win of the season. This was the indication given by Starlets’ coach, Emmanuel Ntuk, after the ill-fated Match Day Three fixture against Warri Wolves last weekend. While pleading for more time to allow new players at the club settle in properly, the vastly experienced coach also charged the players to reciprocate state Government kind gesture towards them by beginning to win matches. He said the team has gathered adequate experience to assist them pick up their first win of the season this weekend.

Akwa Starlets are without a win so far this season with their three previous league matches all resulting in draws while AS-Racine have one win, one draw and one loss in the three league outings.

The match, which is scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 1, at Uyo Township Stadium, will be Starlets’ second of two successive home matches.

A statement signed by the Secretary of the club, Mr. Kufre Okure, indicates that there shall be no gate takings at the stadium and calls on football lovers from within and outside the state to turn up en masse to cheer the team to victory.
