High-flying Enyimba International face city
rivals, Abia Warriors, in the biggest clash of
the Glo Premier League weekend in Aba on
Sunday.
Not many would have forgot how the
Umuahia-based visitors shocked the six-time
league champions in front of their home
supporters a little above a year ago through
Cletus Itodo's looping strike over the Enyimba
goalkeeper Chijioke Ejiogu. That was of course
last season, a season where this fixture's
visitors were the surprise team of the first half
of the season.
They would eventually become victims of
those exploits, losing the services of two of
their key players, Peter Onyekachi and Chima
Uluocha to none other than Enyimba. That
has seen them struggle this season. Two
home losses and some unconvincing
performances away from home has seen them
unable to match up to some of the top spots
they enjoyed last season. Chisom Chikatara
has borne the goalscoring burden alone. New
recruit Bolaji Sakin has tried to step into
Onyekachi's goalscoring shoes but the returns
have been few and far between. They have
also moved away from their home ground in
Umuahia after the League Management
Company deemed their turf below standard.
At the other corner of the state, Enyimba have
simply been phenomenal so far this season,
presenting themselves as worthy contenders
for the title this season. Currently on an eight-
match unbeaten run, winning thrice away
from home as well as having the most number
of points on the road, many are inclined to
believe that even Kano Pillars have given up
on a title chase despite this being the start of
the season.
In second place yet tied on points with league
leaders Sunshine Stars, Enyimba could go top
of the Glo Premier League pile if Kadiri
Ikhana's men win in the Abia Derby and
results elsewhere involving Lobi Stars versus
Sunshine Stars ends in a stalemate. Christian
Obiozor and new goalscoring sensation Ifeanyi
George appear to have finally become the last
part of a missing puzzle while Mfon Udoh
remains sidelined.
However when these two sides meet, every
preceding intro would be flung out of the
window. As always, the Enyimba stadium will
be filled to the rafters. Just a minute section
of the stadium will be touting for the team in
red (Abia Warriors), but make no mistakes
about it, this will not be an easy game for
Enyimba. They have drawn twice at home
already this season - to Akwa United and Giwa
FC, and although that was before they began
this unbeaten run. They know they face a
different kind of test in Abia Warriors.
Chikatara will as always remain a threat.
Released from the Under-23 national team
camp for this tie, Ikhana will most likely assign
Enyimba's longest-serving and most reliable
defender Emma Anyanwu to keep tabs on the
striker who already has seven goals this term.
At the other end, captain Austin Obaroakpo
and Nnaemeka Anyanwu will find a way to
contain Obiozor and Ifeanyi George who both
netted twice in their last two games. Uluocha
might get a start in the middle against his
former employers and his job description will
be to stop Ifeanyi Onyeali, the engine room of
this Abia Warriors side. Yet another battle will
be between Ezekiel Bassey and Ndifreke
Effiong, the full back who ranks as one of the
best free kick specialists in the league.
Can Abia Warriors stop Enyimba, who are
currently on an eight-game unbeaten run?

Aspa jersey in the NPFL, i give it to Heartland Fc. They've tried different combinations each season with their red and white and its attractive. This is the 4th year in a row now. Not these plain coloured jersey combos i see on the pages of sport papers.

Kwara to are good. Then others should try modify the shorts for the jerseys. Seems they do a "are you new, come try this pair on" kinda thing.
