Effiong Ndidreke excited to start pre-season on a good note

Star striker Ndifreke Effiong says he is delighted to
see his team Akwa United begin their Gov. Wike pre-season football
tournament with an impressive victory over the Cynosure football
club.

Effiong was among the scorers for the Promise Keepers as they
announced their arrival at the tournament with a 3-1 victory over
Cynosure FC of Ebonyi at the Sharks Stadium in Port Harcourt on
Saturday.

Last season’s top scorer Effiong scored Akwa United’s second
goal of the game after midfielder Ukeme Williams had given Coach
Kennedy Boboye’s team the lead after the 17th minute. Ubong Friday
curled in a spectacular free-kick in the second half to put the
game beyond Cynosure as Promise Keepers move top of Group A table
with three points and a superior goal difference.

“It’s good to start this pre-season tournament on a winning note
because it will encourage us to continue to give our best in all
our matches.

“I’m delighted to be among the scorers in today’s match and the
most important thing is that we won the game. We came here with our
full team and the coach may want to give all the players an
opportunity to play, so I’m happy that we all gave a good account
of ourselves in today’s match.

“Our attention is now on Sunday’s match against Lobi Stars and
by the grace of God we hope to continue with this tempo”, 
Effiong hinted.

Coach Kennedy Boboye may likely rotate his team in Sunday’s game
against Lobi Stars after admitting that winning the pre-season
tournament may not be his team’s priority but to use the tournament
to try out different tactics and formations that will best suit his
team ahead of the new NPFL season.
