Ogbonda who is unaware of how critical the match would be noted that his girls are ready to go through it and achieve the result.
“Well, everybody has their mouth; Edo Queens can say whatever they want to say. We have rounded up our training, and come Wednesday, just as they’re planning, we are also planning,” Ogbonda told Rivers Angels’ media on Monday.
“The match against the Edo Queens is our qualification ticket to the Super Six. Just as I have told the players, if we get the three points from the Edo Queens, we have qualified for the Super Six.”
