TCC Cup: Coach Gibson hails Dino SC despite draw against Real Sapphire

 

Dino Sporting Club kicked off their Creative Championship League Cup campaign with a 1-1 draw against Real Sapphire in a Group A clash on Sunday.

The match ended in a stalemate after 90 minutes, marking the second draw between the two teams this season.

After a goalless first half, Dino took the lead three minutes before the hour mark when Stephen Shedrack opened his account with a well-placed low shot just inside the box. 

However, the lead was short-lived, as Real Sapphire equalized five minutes later.

Dino Sporting Club Head Coach, Godwin Gibson, spoke positively about his team’s performance despite the draw, noting that the players are still learning and improving.

"It was a very good game. The players are still developing, and we showed improvement from last week when we faced the same team. The performance today is closer to what we expect," Gibson said.

He also emphasized the need for focus after scoring. "It happens even at the highest level. We always tell the players to stay composed after scoring. Unfortunately, we had a poor reaction after the goalkeeper parried the ball, allowing the rebound due to a lack of concentration."

This result means Dino Sporting Club has now drawn all three of their matches across all competitions this season.

Mavlon's Sunday Oche claims Golden Boot award at Olea Cup

 

Sunday Oche, the lethal weapon of Mavlon FC has won the golden boot award after scoring six goals in Olea Cup tournament in Croatia, reports www.totorinews.com.

Oche, who has been described as the new 'Osimhen' due to his similar style of play with the Super Eagles striker, showed his class at Olea Cup when he scored two consecutive hat tricks to send strong messages to European clubs that another great goal poacher from Mavlon FC is around the corner waiting to embrace European club football.

It was not just his two hat tricks that endeared Oche to the organisers of Olea Cup and scouts from some top European clubs, but the manner in which the goals were sublimely dispatched into the net.

The striker at 16 years old, is very proficient with both legs as witnessed by the goals he scored in the tournament. He scored a spectacular bicycle- kick goal against GNK Dinamo. 

He is also good aerially. He dribbles effortlessly to create space for himself to score and also create assist. He is endowed with skills, strength and speed needed to flourish as a striker.

The goalkeepers of FK DAC and GNK Dinano will never forget in a hurry the way Oche condemned them into picking balls from the net in the tournament.

Mavlon FC came third in the tournament. The team did not win the tournament, but one that is definitely sure is the fact that their young U17 players on display were delight to watch, from the goalkeeper to defenders, midfielders and attackers.

All these points to the fact that Mavlon FC is a bedrock of young talented footballers in Nigeria and the club will continue to discover and nurture talents in the round leather game.

Oche has shown great potential in Olea Cup in Croatia scoring six goals in the tournament and it will not be a surprise if some European clubs begin to jostle for his signature counting down to when he will clock 18 years.

The Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial district, Sen. Sunday Stephen Karimi, has released N17 million to begin reconstruction of the abandoned dilapidated Pakuta bridge linking Aiyegunle Gbede - Kiri road, in Ijumu and Kabba Local Government Areas of Kogi.

Prof. Obafemi, who is also the Project Committee Chairman, said the bridge reconstruction was valued at N17 million by the Committee of experts, stakeholders and community representatives in the area.

He, therefore confirmed that the Kogi west senator, had graciously released the fund to begin the immediate reconstruction of the bridge.

He promised that the committee would do everything possible to properly manage the fund and monitor the reconstruction process.

He said Senator Karimi had earlier promised to use his office as the representative of the people to look into the real problem with the funding of the road as contained in the original agreement between the Federal Government and Setraco Nig. Ltd, in a bid to return the Contractor to site to complete the road.

It would be recalled that Sen. Karimi, had in September last month disbursed N100 million to 50 women cooperative societies under his Constituency Empowerment Scheme .

The peoples orientated senator had also in July 2024, launched a registration portal of N100 million bursary award for 1,0000 students from Kogi West in tertiary institutions across the country.
