According to him, our preseason preparation has been putting us in good shape day by day, we played numbers of friendly matches during the tour in Ibadan.

“We even travelled down to Ilorin to defeat ABS of Ilorin and played 1-1 draw with Kwara United before we rounded  it off with a 1-0 win over Shooting Stars on Wednesday.

“Our players displayed a promising football artistry during matches , which I believed will motivate the team to a better performance this season.”

The club President revealed that Sunshine stars have rejigged the team with signing of high profile players, which he said will be unveiled on Saturday before Wolves encounter.

Meanwhile some of the Sunshine Stars fans in the state are of high hope that Sunshine Stars  should run riot over their visitors.
