Rivers Angels of Port Harcourt are bound to face a tough test in this week’s fixture against FC Robo Queens of Lagos, on matchday three of the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) season.
Sports247.ng reports that the fear of Robo Queens should now be the beginning of wisdom for Rivers Angels, as two in-form stars of the Lagos-based side, Opeyemi Ajakaye and Favour Nkwocha say their squad will be in top form during the impending match.

Incidentally, both players scored the goals that helped Coach Emmanuel Osahon’s side romp back from the edge of defeat to gain a 2-1 win against visiting Adamawa Queens of Yola on Wednesday in Lagos.
Nkwocha, who got a 70th minute goal that drew Robo level after their visitors from Yola went ahead in the 21st minute, declared: “I’m so happy for equalising with our first goal. We are now thinking of winning our next game against Rivers Angels. (That we will do by) playing well and bringing out our best.”
Similar words were echoed by Ajakaye, whose 90th minute stunner sealed straight victories for Robo Queens and ensured they got six points from their first two matches of the NWFL’s new season.
“I’m so happy. I’m so happy for scoring the winning goal for my team. We will bring out our best and remain positive in the next away game,” Ajakaye pledged.
That should set bolts of tension running through The Garden City camp of Rivers Angels, as FC Robo had earlier won their first match of the season 5-1 away to Benue Queens of Makurdi.
