“Hammer to kill mosquito” – Osahon ahead of Nigeria women’s Lagos derby

FC Robo Queens manager, Emmanuel Osahon has vowed a heavy-handed approach to the Lagos team’s derby clash with sister side, Dreamstar Ladies, in the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) on Wednesday (March 3).

The Lagos landladies will host city challengers and bottom-placed side, Dreamstar Ladies in a midweek NWFL matchday 8 clash at the Legacy Pitch of the National Stadium in Surulere, Lagos.

Both sides were losers in their NWFL matchday 7 encounters. FC Robo Queens lost 0-1 to Delta Queens in Agbor, while Dreamstar Ladies were beaten 0-2 by newcomers, Royal Queens, in Warri.

Osahon said on Monday (March 1) he would feature the best legs in his arsenal to ensure that the city rivals are thoroughly beaten in the derby.

“The Lagos derby will be an interesting match though we are leaving no stone unturned to ensure we collect the whole three points at stake.

“We too are in great need, we want to carry the league shield because of the prize attached to it this time around.

“Incidentally, all the frontrunners on the league log at the moment will come to meet us at home. If we win our home matches we are in good contention for the title.

“So we are more in need than Dreamstar Ladies because if we qualify it will boost the state and some of their good players will be exposed.

“In fact, I will use hammer to kill mosquito. That tells you how much we need the points at stake in the derby.

“Of course, all the Super Falcons’ returnees are all on ground for the all-important clash, we all trained together this morning”.

“Be rest assured that all of them will feature in the clash alongside other great legs in our fold, aimed at total victory,” said Osahon.

FC Robo Queens are fifth on the 14-team top-flight log on 12 points six behind league leaders, Bayelsa Queens.
