Eaglets’ victory vindicates Calabar pitch

Cross Rivers State FA chairman, Oswald Atuake has stressed that the Golden Eaglets 5-0 drubbing of Gabon on Saturday has shown clearly that the pitch of the U J Esuene Stadium where the match was played remains in fine condition for football.
According to him, the lame excuse that the Super Eagles lost to Congo earlier on this month because of the ground has now been nullified by the very gallant Eaglets.
“They have shown to the whole of Nigeria that they are far better assembled than the Super Eagles because the same pitch Super Eagles trained and lost is the same pitch their younger counterparts played and whitewashed Gabon”
“Will you now believe the news going round that the Calabar pitch is not good? We are even preparing for the National Sports Festival so we are preparing for that as well but the pitch is good and in perfect condition.”
