Abia State who held Plateau State to a goalless draw in their first game prevented Kaduna from scoring in the first quarter but their resistance could only last for 15 minute.

Nathaniel Usman completed his brace in the 56th minute and John Peter converted a penalty stroke in the 59th minute to complete the 8-0 rout.

In the other game in the men’s category, braces from Sunday Emmanuel and Joshua Faluyi helped Oyo State (men) team secure a comfortable 4-0 victory against FCT on Sunday.

Sunday Emmanuel opened the scoring in the 13th minute. Joshua Faluyi made it two in 14th minute.

Joshua Faluyi completed his brace in the 21st minute. Sunday Emmanuel completed his brace in the 49th minute to complete the rout.

However comfortable the game was for Oyo State the team’s technical crew should be concerned about the players failure to convert any of their five penalty corners.
