Sunshine Stars coach Kennedy Boboye has expressed optimism that his will survive relegation in the 2023/24 Nigeria Premier Football League after securing back-to-back wins which moved them six places above the relegation zone, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

The Owena Whales got the better fellow relegation-threatened side, Akwa United, to boost their survival hopes with 46 points after a two-nil win. 

Boboye believes that they will keep rising with three games to go this season to escape the drop. 

“We didn’t give up even with the result in the first half. The players kept pushing because we knew we needed the victory. The result has pushed us up on the ladder and we will continue to rise.

"Most times in every good team, the bench is your strength because when you have a good bench, you can as well make changes that will get you results like it did for us."

Sunshine Stars have nine more points to play for and that will see them travel to Doma United before returning home to face Remo Stars in a derby while their last game of the season is against Niger Tornadoes in Kaduna.
