Kwara Dethrones Kogi, Wins U-12 Girls Trophy
KWARA State has won the under-12 girls trophy of the on-going National Junior Handball Championship by beating champions, Kogi 23-12 at competition that ends today in Isanlu, Yagba East, Kogi State.
The Kwara team was on the offensive from the opening minute, dominating the game, a development, which did not go down well with the home fans.
The Kwara girls' passing game proved too much for hosts to contain such that even the instruction from the Kogi bench failed to yield any result.
The winners tore Kogi's game plan to pieces, winning the first half by 8-4.
The game continued in the same fashion with Kwara extending the lead to end it at 23-12.
Speaking after the match, victorious coach, Emmanuel David, said he was surprised by the win, but noted that his team actually trained hard for the event.
Despite the win, David stated that the team would continue to work hard to retain the trophy next year.
David revealed that it wasn't too challenging assembling the team " because most of the players play for Girls Day Secondary School, Pakata and Pitching Handball Club.”
