He said, “The win against Bayelsa Queens is expected, like I said in a previous interview, the Queens from Delta do not have away from home, in their matches.

“Every match they play is a Cup final, a mentality they! have built for themselves. The fine run started right after the Super Six. The team-building process is excellent. The Sheroes Cup in Abuja was all the team needed to fine-tune their build-up to the season.
