The General Manager while charging the players to be heads up, admonished them to remain focused and play more as a team, saying they have all what it takes to become one of the best teams in the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL).

He said: “The team is just coming up, I know they are yet to fully blend together, I believe with time and every match, they will keep improving.”

He assured the players of good welfare package ahead of the 2023/24 Nigeria Women Football League slated to kick off on November 15.

“I’m aware they are in a very competitive group, but what I’m seeing here, there is prospect for them to become a strong team.”

He later presented a cash gift to the players for their sterling performance against Ekiti Queens.

Sunshine Queens had earlier lost 2-1 to Naija Ratels, played 2-2 with Honey Badgers and defeated Ekiti Queens 1-0 in a South West derby.
