Niger United, Safety Babes begin Ardova Handball League title defence

On offer are the league men and women’s titles won by Niger United of Minna and Safety Babes of Abuja respectively.

Niger United’s coach, Adebayo Yekini, yesterday, said that his team was ready for the challenges despite losing John Shagari to Tojemarine Academy and two goalkeepers to clubs abroad. He said some other players also left the team in pre-season. Ada Okey of Safety Babes said her team is eyeing its fourth consecutive title and fifth overall, adding, “In the last six years, Safety Babes HC has lifted the title four times. We did not lift the trophy during the inaugural Prudent Energy Handball League in 2018 where we finished second and in 2020. We remain the only club that has lifted the title three consecutive times and by the Grace of God, we are targeting the fourth title this year.

Inter Miami fought back from two goals down to win 3-2 at Montreal in Major League Soccer on Saturday with Luis Suarez on target again as the league leaders won their fifth straight game. A few days after she powered Nigeria’s mixed relay team to the Paris 2024 Olympics with an impressive race at the World Athletics Relays in Bahamas, U.S.-based speed star, Ella Onojuvwevwo, in the early hours of yesterday, clocked a new lifetime best of 50.57s to finish second in her heat and earn an auto-qualifying spot to not only the SEC Outdoor Championships final, but also the Paris Olympics.
