The Head coach of Rivers Angels, Edwin Okon said his team will work on the lapses they had in the first game.

He said, “We are champions too any day anytime and I am so sure of the league this season. But the result of this match didn’t reflect the work we have put in. Some loss of concentration defined the game and we are back home to work on the lapses in the team and I believe we will come up better.
