Coaches of Lagos Seasiders Babes and Safety Babes Bukola Duru and Bala Mohammed have tipped their teams to win the 2018 Prudent Energy Handball League, which ends on October 7, at the Rowe Park, Yaba.
Seasiders Babes have lost a match in the second phase of the league while Safety Babes have yet to lose a match.
Duru said her team would rise from their loss to Owena Queens after working on their weaknesses.
“That loss was a setback for the team but we will move on from there. We are determined to win this league after we won the first phase in Abuja. We are the home team in Lagos, so we know it will be tough but we have been working on our weaknesses to ensure that we don’t lose another match,” she said.
Mohammed said, “We have the players that can do us proud. Some matches will be very difficult but losing games is not an option for us. The players are also aware of the need to do well. We have been rotating our players to keep the players fresh.
“We have many games to play and by resting our experienced players toward the ends of games especially when we have a good lead will help them stay fresh. We are also guiding against injuries, which could hinder our progress.”
The coaches praised the league sponsors for supporting handball in the country.
