Shooting bank on old brigade
If shooting stars sports club of Ibadan are to win anything in the league this year, the experience of Ajibade Babalade, Edith Agoye, Taiwo Eneagwea and Lukman Ijaiya would surely come to bear.
The foursome would no doubt be the weapon of destruction of coach Niyi Akande in his bid to take some silver ware to Ibadan for the first time in almost half a decade. The club gained promotion to the Premier League last season despite having to play most of their second round games in Ilorin where they were banished. Motivation is near perfect as the players have also received at least 75% of their sign on fees, long before the new season kicked off. Not minding their status as new boys in the top flight, Shooting Stars would no doubt still be title contenders. Onigbinde’s managerial acumen would also be brought to test in the top flight as he would be out to prove a point that he still has a trick or two up his sleeves. Their 2-0 win over Champions Enyimba in the first week of the season goes a long way to show that they might indeed be ready for the challenge ahead. 2
