ABS to battle Sunshine, Crown in friendly matches

By Our Reporter 
ABUBAKAR Bukola Saraki (ABS) FC Ilorin will on Sunday lock horns with Crown FC of Ogbomoso in a return leg of the two legged preseason friendly match.

Crown had in the first leg beat the Saraki Boys 1-0 at the Kwara Stadium Complex, in October. 

ABS Director of Football, Alloy Chukwuemeka, who confirmed the match said it is scheduled for 3:00 p.m at the Soun Stadium, Ogbomoso.

Chukwuemeka also disclosed that the Yomi Elijah tutored side will battle Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side, Sunshine Stars of Akure on Monday in Ilorin.

Sunshine Stars will not be in action this weekend despite the commencement of the 2019/2020 NPFL season following the postponement of their fixture with Rangers International, who are involved in the CAF Confederation Cup competition.

According to Chukwuemeka, the match will begin from 8:00 a.m at the 18,000 capacity Kwara Stadium complex.

It would be recalled that the management of Nigeria National League (NNL), had announced on Thursday that it has postponed the league commencement date by 21 days.

The NNL was originally scheduled to kick off by Friday, Nov. 1, but it will now begin from Nov. 22.
