campaign in the Cadet and Junior teams while the Ondo State is coming with the
senior team. We are fully prepared.
“Ondo team has been winning overall female in terms of
medals in recent competitions, we have more medals than Bayelsa. We are topping
in the female category and we are trying to matchup with them in the boys
category. They have gained more ground than us in the male category but this
time around, by the special grace of God we will try everything possible to make
sure we still carry the day,” Purity told Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com.
