Rocket FC of Orlu have set their campaign for the summer long holiday season in motion with a 4-1 spanking of Kings Football Academy of Amazu in an inter-community friendly match, Sports247 reports.
The encounter, which was played at Amazu Akata, saw the boys of Coach Victor Nwokeji (aka Up Ref) storm to an astonishing victory on away ground, as they stepped out of their familiar territory in search of additional exposure.
One of the key players in the squad and a student of Township Comprehensive Secondary School, Amaifeke (TCSSA), Sixtus Chinemerem Afoaku said it was an enterprising performance by his side, as they defied all odds to shock their hosts.
“I am happy with the result of this match,” said Sixtus, “we were able to live up to our motto, and we showed them what we are capable of. Theodore scored two of our goals, while Sunday and Aboy got one each.
“It’s a way of showing our fans and people in the community that we are going ‘ahead ahead,’ and we have more on offer for them. Now that the school long holiday period is starting, we will have time to play more matches.
“We have started well and our coach told us he is happy, but he also warned us not to releax. He reminded us that our target is to go ahead and ahead. So, for every match that we are going to play during this long holiday, we want to continue winning. We also want to win a trophy before the year ends.”
