Rivers Angels lift Aiteo Women’s Cup

Rivers Angels made it three titles on the trot with a 1-0 victory over Ibom Angels in the final of the Aiteo Women’s Cup.

The game held at the Samson Siasia Stadium in Yenagoa on Tuesday.

Juliet Sunday got the goal that separated both teams as the Orange Girls fought tenaciously against their arch rivals.

The Angels of Garden City have now taken home the trophy eight times, more than six-time champions Pelican Stars and four-time winners Ufuoma Babes and Delta Queens.

Sunshine Queens, who won in 2015, is the only team to have broken Rivers Angels’ stride since their dominance began in 2010.

The lively and eye-catching final could not be dampened by the downpour, as singers Olamide, Simi and homeboy Timaya wowed the crowd before kick-off.

The men’s final between Rangers International and Kano Pillars will take place at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba on Wednesday.
