He noted that the girls are more coordinated and have court discipline.Onikeku said, “This is a good start for the Nigeria Customs female volleyball team. The first set was a record and we played better as we proceeded.
The girls are playing at a different level now because they are well motivated and it has translated to more coordination and court discipline. Before we left for Cairo, we played numerous friendlies while in camp and this helped us a lot”.
He said the customs girls will play better against their next opponent. Onikeku said, “The girls will play better in their next match because they have two free days to improve on their defence band and court discipline”.
Nigeria Customs will face Canon (RD Congo) on Tuesday by 3pm
