Yobe Stars’ Abdulrahman Ago won't give up for derby

Yobe Desert Stars’ Abdulrahman Ago is confident his players will give everything ahead of the North East derby between them and El Kanemi Warriors in a league tie fixed for Damaturu on Wednesday.

The Damaturu side seems to be playing for pride in a largely underwhelming season where they are at the bottom of the NPFL Group B with a miserly 14 points out of a possible 51 points. They are nine points adrift of Premier League safety with five games remaining.

“We know that we are at the wrong end of the table but we won’t give up in as much as we are still with a chance of escaping,” Ago told Goal.
