'We'll fight hard' - Confluence Queens coach Ogbonda aims to break Rivers Angels' final jinx

Confluence Queens head coach Whyte Ogbonda assures his side will fight hard to win maiden Nigeria Women's Premier League (NWPL) title at the expense of Rivers Angels on Sunday.

The Lokoja-based ladies will square up against the Jewel of Rivers in the final of the four-team tournament at the Agege Stadium.

The two teams will meet for the first time in a final, but it is a third for Ogbonda, who led Ibom Angels to back-to-back Federation Cup finals in 2017 and 2018, but lost both to Rivers Angels.

The contest will rekindle the rivalry between the master Edwin Okon and his former apprentice Ogbonda, who developed his coaching career with the Port Harcourt side before his exit in 2017.
