This will be the club’s last pre-season friendly game before they depart to Ibadan for their season opener against Shooting Stars Sports Club.
“The friendly matches were carefully picked because we needed an opposition that would be strong enough for us in our NNL campaign,” General Manager of the side, Soni Uboh said.
“These two clubs are top clubs in the division and fortunately, they are not in our group so they will prove a good test for us as we round up our preparations for the League that starts in two weeks,” Uboh said.
