Kabiru Towolawi, popularly known as KB, is the manager of Fire II Football Club of  Bariga. He spoke withSUNDAY AKINTOYE about the club and their plans to shake Lagos  State football.

Tell us about the club ?

The club was launched last year at Bariga.We started with 20 players but today we  have up to 40 players.

Your club are yet to win a cup since last year?
That’s true, we have not won any laurel but we are in the semi final of Bilvic  Soccer Fiesta.

When are you playing the semi final?
Our semi final match against Balance Gospel Ministry will hold today at the CMS  Primary School, Bariga. It is a rescheduled match. We  played 1-1 with our   opponents in the first semi final, while the penalty shootout also ended 5-5.
So, the organisers fix the rematch for today.

You must be under pressure now?
Honestly, I am under pressure because we are playing the match amidst a lot of  things at stake. Our fans would be around but I have charged the players to go out  for victory because we want to win the Cup.
