Ahead
of this weekend’s Federation Cup finals at the Teslim Balogun
Stadium,manager of Heartland Football Club, Ramson Madu, is upbeat that
his team will retain the title,which they are the defending champions.
Heartland
survived the scare put up by Prime FC in the semi-finals,as they needed
a penalty shoot-out to defeat the Osogbo side at the Ilorin township
stadium.
The
finals on Sunday will now be between Heartland and Lobi Stars,who
equally won their semi-finals game against Kano Pillars via penalties.
Speaking
to the News Agency of Nigeria, Madu said that playing against Lobi will
not be a problem for his team: “We are out of the NPL contest but we
remain focused on the Federation Cup and we are going to win the trophy
back-to-back having won the championship in 2011.”
Heartland
pipped neighbours, Enyimba, last year to win the Federation cup and
would be looking to do a repeat,when they play Lobi on Sunday.
