7th January, 2011
As the Lagos Junior League, LJL, resumes tomorrow, 8 January, 2011, the participating teams would be out for their Week 15 matches holding across the state. All the teams are coming fresh from three weeks break.
According to the organisers, the team from Badagry West would engage Oriade LASUÂ at 9 a.m. tomorrow in the opening match of the New Year.
Badagry West have managed only one win in their last four matches but are still sixth in League A with 14 points from eight matches played so far.
Badagry West will have to step up their game to gain a spot in the top 5 but they have a tough clash against the Oriade team, who are one of the teams to watch out for in the LJL.
Blessed with a very supportive chairman, a very dedicated squad and coaching crew, Oriade are aiming high in the competition.
Oriade are currently 5th in League A on 15 points with three games less than group leaders, Agbado Oke Odo, who have 25 points after 10 games.
Oriade have a good run of form with three wins in their last four games and boasts of one of the LJL’s highest goal scorers in 17 year old Eze Christopher.
Christopher has scored 10 goals after 7 games, including a brilliant hat-trick in his last game against Badagry Central. Christopher said Oriade are out to consolidate their hold on a spot in the LJL Premier League.
Meanwhile, organisers say the fixtures for the second half of the qualification round was modified to allow all the teams to play equal number of matches by the middle of January 2011.
