Nigeria’s Under-18 women’s handball team started their IHF Trophy’s Zonal Phase championship in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire with a 53-21 victory over Togo in the youth category on Sunday.
The team led by Coach John Uzor were swift especially from the wings and fast breaks as well as defending resolutely to win the first half 21-8.
The second part of the match saw Nigeria continue their push and they finished the match with a commanding 53-21 victory.
Coach Uzor, though, said, “I am very excited about the victory. The girls played to our instructions to the letter which enabled them to score so many goals. Whether their efforts was recognized or not is not my worry as the victory is much more important than the MVP award.”
Nigeria’s will play Bukina Faso on Monday at 9am while later in the day; Nigeria’s Under 20 Women Handball team will play their first match of the competition against Togo at 3pm.
