FC Ifeanyi Ubah, Abia Warriors in supremacy battle

This weekend’s Oriental derby be­tween FC Ifeanyi Ubah and Abia Warriors will have a lot attached to the fixture as both teams are top con­tenders for the

league shield. Abia War­riors’ impressive run under coach Ken­nedy Boboye since the beginning of the season has earned the coach recognition with appointment into the Super Eagles technical crew ahead of the two friendly matches against Mali and Luxemburg.

Also the club took a big leap to de­throne FC Ifeanyi Ubah on the ladder, pushing the Anambra Warriors to the third position.

But this is a game Coach Mitko Do­brev and his side would stake everything to avoid a slip as a win against their hosts would return them to the second position.

The FC Ifeanyi Ubah arguably have an impressive on the road record as their fans hope for a favourable reason to erase the bitter taste of the 3-0 loss to Kano Pillars in the midweek, even as they acknowledge the strength of Kene­dy Boboye and his lads, hence they have tagged it a battle for supremacy.
