Heartland Queens football club of Owerri on Monday the 7th of August defeated their sister club First Mahi babes of Abajah 1-0 in a pulsating South East women football association tournament derby.
Chinedu Gifts early strike was the only goal needed to separate the two sides as the Abajah side refused to yield to pressure from the Onwa Babes for the rest of the game.
However the lone goal did justice to the game as Heartland Queens now occupy the top of the table with superior points and one more game in hand.
However both teams are through to the semi final round of the tournament.
While Heartland Queens will gear up to battle Awka Angels in the Semi Finals, First Mahi Babes will slug it out with Imo Strikers Queen in another pulsating Imo Derby encounter.
