The executive chairman, Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan, Alhaji Gbolagade Busari has commended the players of the club for their brave performance against Giant Brillers in Enugu.

According to a press statement signed by the media officer, Tosin Omojola the chairman said “I am so excited that the boys were able to shrug off the pressure brought about by the home draw against Abia Comets to pick up the maximum points against Brillers’.

While describing the win as a timely response to criticism and.a perfect way of easing pressure, the 3SC helmsman challenged both the technical crew and the players to move on from there, saying that they should not look back in their pursuit of promotion ticket.
“It is pertinent to tell them that this victory should serve as the tonic needed to move on, from now on, they should not relent but brace up because to me, the battle has just begun
