Speaking after the game, head coach of Kada Kings, Sani Mohammed said the coaching crew strategised against Niger Brass and the result was favourable.
Mohammed said losing against Nigeria Correction Boys was disastrous adding that his players have learnt their lessons.
“Our first match was unfortunate because the team who defeated us is not up to the standard of Niger Brass but we lost.
“The team drew a new strategy and came out fully to face Niger Brass. During the training session in the morning, the coaching crew motivated the boys and you can see the result against Niger Brass; we also noticed the weak points of our opponent and capitalised on it,” he said.
The championship enters day three today with the following fixtures;
Niger Brass v Sunshine Spikers
ABM of Katsina v Nigeria Correction Boys (Prisons)
Kada Kings v Offa VC
