RIVERS Angels, Edwin Okon has attributed his team's victory to hard work.
“ It’s a good win for Rivers Angels because we worked hard although we wanted to score more than one goal but it didn’t work out but we thank God for qualifying,” he said
“Our ability to soak up the pressure from their forwards was massive and I must commend the girls for that,” Okon added.
