NNL 24: Ejeh Excited With Abia Comets Unbeaten Record of Five Matches

By Precious Oham

Coach Ejeh Kelvin of Abia Comets has expressed delight seeing his team secure another point on the road to extend their five-game unbeaten run in the National League One.

Abia Comets picked a point on the road following a 1-1 draw against Calabar Rovers in the current NNL season.

In its post match interview, Ejeh said: “It was absolutely amazing. It would have been a football crime if we didn’t score a goal in that period. We scored and it was an important goal for our confidence but unfortunately gave up the lead at the 90th minute.

"What pleased me most was the way we started the game. I told the players we don’t need to score in the first minute — it’s difficult to score in the first minute and is something out of our control. But, to start playing good football in the first minute, is possible. It’s our responsibility and we have to do that, and we did that.

“We had an opportunity to seal off the game after the first goal but my striker was slow to play the ball pass the goalkeeper.

“It’s very difficult to see such numbers of unbeaten run in the NNL but our team work and dedication made it possible.” Ejeh concluded”

Cruising on a five-match unbeaten streak, Abia Comets exhumed confidence entering its Matchday 10 fixture against Calabar Rovers as they eye to compound the Calabar based side woes and to stretch its unbeaten run.
