Abia Warriors are an excellent team and we knew that. They are very strong from free-kicks and corners and they have strong players in attack.

"You know it's a tournament, we are just  starting. It is not yet time. We are still assessing our team.There are many new players. The boys tried and gave a good account of themselves," he added.
