\nIn-form Rivers Angels of Port Harcourt, who are not unfamiliar with triumph in the women\u2019s version of the oldest Cup competition in the land, will confront Delta Queens in Awka, while exciting newcomers Remo Stars Ladies tango with Abuja landladies Naija Ratels at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu. Both matches will kick off at 4pm.<\/p>\n
Last year\u2019s runners-up, Rivers Angels unhinged Osun Babes 5-0 in an imperious performance at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu on Wednesday, at the time that Nasarawa Amazons were being eliminated on penalty shootout by Remo Stars Ladies in Benin City.
\nNaija Ratels also experienced penalty shootout jitters, before they sent FC Robo Queens of Lagos packing at the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba.<\/p>\n
Delta Queens dealt a 2-0 blow on Sunshine Queens from Akure in the earlier match in Benin City, and will go all out against Rivers Angels in Awka on Sunday.
\nThe grand finale of both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s competitions has been scheduled for the MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja on Saturday, 29th June \u2013 the first time that the grand finale of Nigeria\u2019s oldest Cup competition will be staged in the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
