A clear 8 days ahead of their President Federation Cup final match against Abakaliki FC, Kwara United, this morning departed Ilorin for Lagos ,the venue of the epic encounter.
A visit to the Club Secretariat, their take off point, situated within the General George Innih Stadium, some 45 minutes before they departed at exactly 7 am, I noticed a very high spirit, rising confidence, high friendly disposition, unrestricted camaraderie and strong determination as the players settled into small groups discussing what obviously looks like a strategic playing formula and winning mentality which will see them through in their quest for national glory.
In separate chats ,team Physician, Dr.Rotimi Oyinloye ,expressed delight as he beamed with smiles and excitement while giving all the players a clean bill of health.
