On his own comment,Head Coach of Chekas United Feeders, Richard Nwosu expressed his displeasure over the team’s poor performance and charged his boys to wake up from the slumbers in their next game.
“This is worse performance of my boys since State league kicked off.Truly my boys failed in all departments but thank God that it ended in draw.I commend our opponents for their brilliant performance and we would go back to our training session and correct our mistakes,”he said.
Elochukwu Nnaji scored for the Chekas boys in the 30th minutes after visiting team missed some glaring chances in the early encounter.
Chekas boys were completely outplayed in the early second half and Hephzibah boys effort was rewarded when Gideon Joseph quickly got the equaliser to end the game in stalemate.
Meanwhile this is not the best time for Bucknor FC after they suffered 3-5 at home yesterday against Olufunke FC.
