Despite a poor start to the season’s campaign – securing just one point from a possible nine – the Owerri landladies are determined to bounce back to winning ways, and Matthew believes the anticipated resurgence will begin at the high-flying Sky Blue ladies, who have already amassed an impressive seven points from three matches.
Speaking to the club’s media team ahead of the showdown, Matthew emphasised that Heartland Queens are leaving no stone unturned in their preparations, stating that the team are fully focused on getting maximum points in Ikenne.
“Despite the poor results, I strongly believe that the league is a marathon, and I’m confident we will bounce back to winning ways starting with the encounter in Ikenne. We have worked so hard in trainings, and I trust in God that we will return to Owerri victorious this time around.
” My teammates and I are fully committed to the fight, and we are putting in the necessary hard work to ensure we get the result after 90 minutes,” Matthew declared.
The midfield dynamo has been a standout performer for the Owerri side in the three-week old topflight, scoring their only goal of the season so far in the 1-2 loss to the champions, Edo Queens.
Her leadership and playmaking abilities will be vital as the team seeks to start the climb out from their current seventh-placed position and further reignite their campaign.
With the stage set for a fierce battle in Ikenne, Matthew remains unwavering in her belief that Heartland Queens have what it takes to secure their first victory of the season.
“I strongly believe that we have all it takes to get the whole points at stake in the Ikenne showdown, at least, to join the elite league of teams with victory in the ongoing season,” she enthused.
Fans will be hoping that her heart lifting words translate into positive action when the whistle sounds off on matchday on Wednesday in Ikenne.
